All film clips are accessed from the original master tapes.

“It’s as close as we can get to seeing them live,” says Lauro.

THE LEGENDS SERIES brings to the big screen amazing performance video clips culled from one of the world’s largest archives of music on film, the Historic Films Archive.  Historic Films is dedicated to the re-discovery and preservation of all forms of American entertainment as it exists on film and video tape.

Historic Films has provided film clips to everyone from THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME MUSEUM and MARTIN SCORSESE (his BLUES and BOB DYLAN projects) to AMERICAN IDOL and THE GRAMMY AWARDS. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Sag Harbor Music Festival and Bay Street Theatre. Tickets are $15 and are available online and at the box office.
