A PLACE TO BE - A CELEBRATION OF NICK DRAKE
A SKIN TOO FEW: THE DAYS OF NICK DRAKE
THEIR PLACE: REFLECTIONS ON NICK DRAKE

This very special evening celebrates the life and music of the late British singer/songwriter Nick Drake. The evening includes films, special guests and an art and photographic exhibit. Over the course of three introspective and hauntingly beautiful albums in the early 1970s, Drake built a small but loyal following. Now, 33 years after his tragically early death, Drake is widely considered one of the most important and influential musicians of his generation. This event brings together Nick Drake's admirers - and those closest to him - for a celebration of a unique talent.

Hard Rockin’ Double-Bill!
Classic Stones film plus “Mystery Sneak Peek” of new rock doc!
Stones film producer & longtime associate Ron Shapiro in-person!

MYSTERY SNEAK PEEK!
GIMME SHELTER

A great night for lovers of hard rockin' music! A Saturday Night rock ‘n’ roll double feature! One film is a salute to the Rolling Stones with the classic “Gimme Shelter” - which captures the Stones at their infamous Altamont concert in December 1969. The screening has been designed as a consolation for Stones fans who had been anticipating the release this Fall of the brand-new Stones film directed by Martin Scorsese (now postponed to 2008). "Gimme Shelter" will be preceded by a film that for legal reasons must be billed as “Mystery Sneak Peek!” It's a sneak preview of an eagerly-awaited major rock ‘n’ roll film that will be seen by the public for the first time ever at The Aero! The film is amazing - and rock fans will not be disappointed. (Clue: It's NOT a Menudo film!)
