LIGHTS, CAMERA, MAYHEM: A Tribute to Joe Lee
LIGHTS, CAMERA, MAYHEM: A Tribute to Music Maven Joe Lee
The AFI Silver hosts a salute to legendary DC music maven Joe Lee, who passed away this year on the 4th of July. A mercurial son of one of Maryland's oldest family lines, Lee held court at Joe’s Record Paradise for over six decades of mayhem and madness, influencing music tastes for generations and helping put Washington on the map as a crucial and uber-weird roots music mecca. In addition, he was a natural in front of the camera, whether delivering irreverent sound bites on the evening news, starring in the documentary RECORD PARADISE: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF JOE LEE or being a scene-stealer in music videos, short films by the Langley Punks and the local cult favorite OF FLESH AND BLOOD. Join us for a no-holds-barred celluloid carnival ride showcasing Lee’s musical odyssey from Ray Charles and Root Boy Slim to Beverly Pureheart, Evan Johns, Blelvis and beyond. Seatbelts recommended.
Run Time: 75 minutes
Following the screening, the commemoration continues at McGinty's Public House with live entertainment.
