Carmine Street Guitars
Come early to hear Eugene Snowden play live music at Eden Bar from 6:30-9:30PM, courtesy of Performing Arts of Maitland!
The mystique of the Greenwich Village as a haven for bohemians, artists, and musicians lives on at Carmine Street Guitars: Rick Kelly and apprentice Cindy Hulej build handcrafted, one-of-a-kind instruments from wood salvaged from the city’s defunct buildings. (Unfazed 93-year-old mom Dorothy keeps the books and answers the phone.) Nothing looks or sounds like Rick Kelly’s guitars, which is why they’re embraced by Bob Dylan and Patti Smith, among others. A week in the life of the shop features visits from its devoted clientele: Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Band), Kirk Douglas (The Roots), Eleanor Friedberger, Nels Cline (shopping for Wilco bandmate Jeff Tweedy), jazz guitarists Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot, and filmmaker/composer Jim Jarmusch.
Canada, 2018, 80 minutes, Not Rated, Directed by Ron Mann
