Grail Moviehouse in Asheville’s River Arts District continues its popular event series: Music Movie Mondays. Showcasing the best in new, classic and cult films about music, these special screenings feature an introduction by music journalist Bill Kopp (that’s me), followed by a screening of the film and then a moderated discussion about what we’ve just seen and heard.

The latest in the series is MONTEREY POP, the documentary film by D.A. Pennebaker showcasing the first great pop music festival. The film features legendary perfomrances by Otis Redding, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, The Grateful Dead and more than two dozen other acts. A rousing success, the festival created a template for the festival movement.Details are in the attached press release; more info at http://musoscribe.com/movies

The next installment is Wednesday, June 7, and the special guest will be BOB HINKLE, founder and owner of popular music hall White Horse Black Mountain. He got his start as a musician here in WNC, eventually forming a group; recording an album; going solo and releasing another album; working with influentail rock/Americana pioneers The Band on their popular Rock of Ages album; working for Bob Dylan’s notorious manager Albert Goldman; serving as head of A&R for a record label; becoming an artist manager himself, and managing several high-profile artists including Harry Chapin, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, The J. Geils Band and more. And even all that is only part of the story; Bob Hinkle went on to a VP position at a major label, overseeing one of its popular divisions. And then instead of retiring, he launched White Horse Black Mountain.

The man has stories.

In conversation with host/moderator Bill Kopp, Hinkle will share stories and engage with audience questions/discussion about his life and career in the music business.

GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and actor Anthony Hamilton has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and been proclaimed a “national treasure” by the Los Angeles Times. The North Carolina Music Hall of Fame inductee has cemented his place in the history books as the “narrator of love” with awe-inspiring performances and emotionally raw lyrics. Hamilton first burst onto the scene in 2003 with his smash hit “Charlene,” which garnered the attention of NPR and resulted in him starring in their Noteworthy documentary series. In 2007, he made his film debut in the critically acclaimed American Gangster, and in 2012, he lent his vocals to the Django Unchained soundtrack.

Hamilton now adds author and publisher to his lists of accomplishments with the unveiling of his first self-published book Cornbread, Fish n’ Collard Greens, where he shares the inspiration for some of the iconic songs in his illustrious career and his love of southern food.
