“Spider” John Koerner’s legacy is deep, he’s influenced everyone from Bob Dylan to Bonnie Raitt, hung out with legends such as Sleepy John Estes and Son House, and was part of the iconoclastic trio Koerner, Ray and Glover. According to him, his performing days are over now but we’re very lucky to have a number of amazing recordings and countless memories of seeing him play live.
In 1969, Spider John made a film with Bruce and David Rubenstein called “The Secret of Sleep,” a photo-skit starring himself and Willy Murphy among others, and we’re proud to partner with Nero's Neptune Records to be able to screen this film for you in celebration of John’s art and music.
The evening begins with a short solo set by Charlie Parr, followed by a special screening of “The Secret of Sleep.” Then stay for a performance following the film by a group of dedicated Spider John fans — The 60’s Bar Style Band – featuring Liz Draper, Adam Kiesling, Mikkel Beckmen, Grant Johnson and Charlie Parr.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase copies of the film on DVD as well as other releases by Spider John on vinyl and CD.
Join us for this unique event, and tell Spider John how much we appreciate him!
