Join us on Sunday, October 5 for a matinee screening of Laurel Canyon. The 2020 documentary gives an up-close look at the lives of the musicians who inhabited Laurel Canyon, painting an intimate portrait of the artists who created a music revolution that would change popular culture.
This film screening is part of the Echoes Across the Border: Laurel Canyon and the Northern Connection music summit presented by the National Music Centre in collaboration with the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music.
