Silent Films/Live Guitars
Groundbreaking guitarists premiere original film scores for silent comedies by Buster Keaton.
Dan Zanes & Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr.(1928)
“Buster Keaton’s movies always look to me like the most graceful sculpture I’ve ever seen but which upon close examination is only a pile of driftwood and bent nails. I hope to reflect that in my music.”
- Dan Zanes
Grammy winner Dan Zanes, a member of the 80s band the Del Fuegos and current front man for Dan Zanes and Friends, is equally at home with rock, Broadway tunes, Latin American music and the gospel tradition among other genres and has collaborated with artists ranging from Lou Reed and Roseanne Cash to Carol Channing and the Pilobolus Dance Company. His wildly popular family concerts regularly sell out venues like Carnegie Hall. For the NYGF, Zanes premieres his original score for Buster Keaton’sSteamboat Bill, Jr., in which a young Mississippi steamboat captain falls in love with the daughter of his father’s business rival.
