Terry Allen & the Panhandle Mystery Band Live at Pioneer Works (Full Set)

Подробнее о видео

Relive Terry Allen and his legendary Panhandle Mystery Band—featuring his sons, Bukka and Bale Allen, fiddler and mandolinist Richard Bowden, percussionist Davis McLarty, guitarist Charlie Sexton, and storyteller and vocalist Jo Harvey Allen.

Allen's long-awaited NYC return was co-presented with Blank Forms. His work blurs the borders between disciplines, traversing the worlds of sculpture, painting, drawing, theater, dance, installation, video, performance, and music. His multiplicity saturates his songcraft, whether in his satires of New York artists and their “snotty surfer” West Coast counterparts or in his down-home conversations with the Texicans populating the Panhandle. When asked about country music, Allen replied, “Which country?” His 13 albums certainly do away with any notion of the genre as a fixed, conservative locus. 

This project is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology, bridging the two cultures of science and the arts.
