In the late '60s and early '70s, Black blues icons Lightnin’ Hopkins, Furry Lewis, Sonny Terry, and Brownie McGhee headed to the University of Washington for historic performances as part of the school's ethnomusicology program. Filmed on 16mm and stored in UW's ethnomusicology archives, these performances and others by Son House, Mance Lipscomb, and John Lee Hooker have now been digitized and preserved, and they'll screen at Northwest Film Forum in honor of the blues legends.
