CPH:DOX & CPH Folk Club: Joan Baez, I Am Noise + concert by Rod Sinclair og Steffan Søgård Sørensen

1/3/2023

The documentary:
In a sun-drenched cabin in Woodside, California, the directors meet the now 82-year-old Joan Baez. She is one of the 20th century’s greatest folk singers and activist voices, and in the autumn of her career she contiunues to shine. ‘Joan Baez, I Am A Noise’ is structured as a visual diary anchored in Baez’s extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artworks and sound recordings. At the same time, the singer is remarkably honest and revealing about her life on and off stage – from her lifelong psychiatric struggles to her myriad activist causes with Dr Martin Luther King and others, to a heartbreaking romance and musical partnership with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend who has never told the full truth about her life – until now.

The concert:
After the film there will be a concert where the experienced musician and co-founder of the Tønder Festival, Rod Sinclair, will take us into the musical universe of the protest songs and political music of Joan Baez's time. Rod has been singing and playing banjo and guitar on folk music stages all over the world and in Denmark since 1967. With him is double bassist Steffan Søgård Sørensen. The concert is spiced with anecdotes and historical perspectives from the era. Hear for example about when Rod met Joan Baez in Canada. Arranged together with Copenhagen Folk Club and the Folk Music Archive in Tønder.

​​Scotia Nostra (Steffan Sørensen, Peter Eget, Christopher Davis Maack, Rod Sinclair og Stig Bang-Mortensen) has recorded a CD with the Danish titel "Gammel Venskab - Robert Burns i Danmark". A mix of newly composed songs as well as traditional Burns material. It celebrates the 20 anniversary for the Burns Night tours in Denmark, which these gentlemen have been involved in

The CD was released in late August at Hagges Pub in Tønder in connection with the Tønder Festival. The lads played a few tunes and - everybody who purchased the CD, was given a free beer from the bar!

The production of the CD is supported by a grant from KODA Culture, for which we are very grateful.
