Chris and Heather's 16mm Film Festival.
$15
Anyone who has attended Chris & Heather's Country Calendar Show over the past 25 years (this December will mark the 25th anniversary) knows that a major part of the show is the projection of 16mm film. The sound of the projector, the light streaking across the heads of a captivated audience all harkens back to another time, a non-digital era. But Chris and Heather's 16mm Film Festival is not simply an homage to an earlier time. The passion and appreciation for 16mm movie projection is as deep as their collection of rare and wonderful films which include musical performances of all types; country, bluegrass, jazz, pop, rock and folk as well as wacky novelty acts, amazing movie trailers, hilarious TV commercials advertising everything from cigarettes to weird dolls, riotous cartoons and much more, all hand selected from their private vault of theatrical treasures. The festival begins Thursday, May 5th at 8:30 and continues on subsequent 1st Thursdays in June (June 2nd) and July (July 7th) and will feature a live performance by artists chosen by Chris and Heather. See below for musical details.
Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE
Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.

Scott Ligon and Sharon Rutledge are a married couple and two-fifths of the North Berwyn Rhythm and Soul Organization.
Rutledge is a talented artist/massage therapist/animator ("The Center of Nowhere" -2020) while Ligon is a member of The Flat Five, The Western Elstons and NRBQ. As a duet, the pair have played out only rarely making this evening a very special occasion.
"What can we say about Scott and Sharon, they are love personified and their love of incredible music and their ability to translate it as a duet makes them a MUST see! We are proud and excited to have them as part of our film festival and look forward to hearing what they've created for the show!" - Chris and HeatherGrab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE
