50 Years of Arhoolie Records

It’s the 50th anniversary concert of the legendary Arhoolie Records and we’re bringing the party to you live from Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse. Nick is joined on stage with the pioneering label’s many admirers including roots rock guitarist Ry Cooder, bluesman Taj Mahal, Michael Doucet of Beausoleil, New Orleans’ Treme Brass Band, sacred steel masters the Campbell Brothers, the Mexican-American traditionalists Los Cenzontles and many special guests. We’ll also chat with Arhoolie’s founder, Chris Strachwitz about his passion for putting American roots music on record.
