Movie: The Other Side Of The Ice

We hope you can join us next Wednesday, for a special film presentation, which will benefit Friends of mvyradio.

You may remember that in the summer of 2009, we were following the travels of Sprague Theobald, a Newport-based documentarian, as he and his crew navigated the Northwest Passage.  His film is now complete, and will screen on Martha's Vineyard.

In 2009, Sprague Theobald and his family set sail for the infamous Northwest Passage, the Arctic sea route connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Since 1906 a staggering number have died trying. From Newport, RI, through the Arctic and down to Seattle, it would be a five month, 8500 mile trek filled with deadly danger from ice and severe weather. Theobald created a film about his experience and has also written a book – both titled “The Other Side of the Ice”.

Come see this incredible film on Wednesday, September 25th at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Center – part of the proceeds will benefit Friends Of mvyradio! Doors will open at 6:45 for the 7:30 screening with a book signing before the film and a Q&A after with the author and filmmaker.

For more information, visit the MV Film Center website.

Rhythm. And Blues.

Buddy Guy's new double disc is split between a side labeled "Rhythm" and a side labeled "Blues." And his young friend Gary Clark Jr., not surprisingly, shows up on the Blues side.  Check out their collaboration "Blues Don't Care."

New on mvyradio: Elvis Costello & The Roots

You could call it an unlikely combination, but think about it.

Elvis Costello has made records with country backing bands and R&B backing bands and string quartets and opera singers and orchestras and Burt Bacharach.

And The Roots back up musicians on all shapes, sizes and genres, in their role as the house band on Jimmy Fallon.

So maybe their union isn't unlikely.  Maybe it was inevitable.

Check out the first single, "Walk Us Uptown."
