Arthur Russell Birthday Celebration:
Arthur Rusell Tribute from Joel Robinow, Chili Corder, Joe Lyle & more local musicians plus a screening of Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell

In celebration of what would have been his 75th birthday, a group of local musicians are coming together to honor the genre-spanning and incomparably influential body of work of Arthur Russell. The set will be followed by a screening of Matt Wolf’s 2008 documentary, Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell.

Wild Combination is a visually absorbing portrait of the seminal avant-garde composer, singer-songwriter, cellist, and disco producer Arthur Russell. Before his death in 1992, Arthur prolifically created music that spanned both pop and the transcendent possibilities of abstract art. Now, over fifteen years since his passing, Arthur’s work is finally finding its audience. Wolf incorporates rare archival footage and commentary from Arthur’s family, friends, and closest collaborators to tell this poignant and important story.
