Jacob Shije: Hailing from the enchanting Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, Jacob Shije stands as a multifaceted creative force, seamlessly weaving his talents as an Indigenous musician, artist, and photographer. With roots deeply embedded in his ancestral heritage, Jacob’s work exudes a powerful sense of cultural resonance and creativity.
Melding the sounds of Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and Roy Orbison, Jacob’s music transcends genres, creating a unique auditory experience that bridges the past and the present. His melodies resonate with the heartbeat of his people, a testament to his unwavering connection to his roots. From soul-stirring ballads to foot-tapping rhythms, his music speaks a language of its own.
Don’t Look Back: Bob Dylan is captured on-screen as he never would be again in this groundbreaking film from D. A. Pennebaker. The legendary documentarian finds Dylan in England during his 1965 tour, which would be his last as an acoustic artist. In this wildly entertaining vision of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, Dylan is surrounded by teen fans, gets into heated philosophical jousts with journalists, and kicks back with fellow musicians Joan Baez, Donovan, and Alan Price. Featuring some of Dylan’s most famous songs, including “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” and “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” Dont Look Back is a radically conceived portrait of an American icon that has influenced decades of vérité behind-the-scenes documentaries.
