Sundance 2012: Rodriguez

When Rodriguez took the stage to perform at BMI’s 8th annual Sundance Snowball, he was every bit the awe-inspiring rock poet first introduced in his 1970’s recordings. The only difference is now, everyone knows it. Born in 1942 in Detroit to Mexican immigrants, Sixto Diaz Rodriguez released his first single in 1967, and followed with two albums on Sussex/A&M, 1970’s Cold Fact and the following year’s Coming…

Focusing on the relationship between composer and director, the panel is a cornerstone discussion at the festival on the role of music in film. Panelists…
Sundance 2012 Blog: Keaton Simons

I've always had a special connection to Sundance because my late grandpa David Rayfiel and festival founder Robert Redford were extremely close friends and associates. My grandpa David wrote The Way We Were, Three Days of the Condor, Out Of Africa, and many other films starring Redford. Admittedly this is where I switch from associating Sundance with film and start thinking of music and friends. The last time I attended…

The Sundance excitement starts from the moment I get the phone call from my director that we will be premiering at Sundance – especially if we have actually finished the film in time. Even though I’ve had a number of films here over the years, every time is like the first – especially at the premiere screening with an audience full of anticipation. And there’s no better movie audience than at Sundance, especially for…

For me, the Sundance Film Festival always begins at LAX. The first person I saw when I stepped out of the taxi at the Delta terminal was one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Keaton Simons. He was there along with his girlfriend, music publicist Laura Goldfarb, his mother Eliza and his stepfather actor Eric Roberts. Keaton played our BMI Snowball several years ago. He’s crazy talented and a…
Sundance 2012 Blog: Michael Bacon

I'm on my way to Park City in support of the documentary Slavery by Another Name that I scored. It focuses on a hideous part of our history that is unknown to most of us. I've been to Park City seven times now-four times for Sundance screening events and three for concerts with my band, the Bacon Brothers, at the Arts Center. Oxygen is readily…

Sundance 2011 Diary: Tamara Conniff

Exclusive Blog: Seven Days in Music: Sundance Edition Time to take a look at what happened in the music biz – for the week ending Jan 28 it was all about Sundance, composers, new artist Allen Stone, and indie band Holy Water Buffalo.
