Regarding Charlottesville Music has become the book project that fittingly won’t ever fade away quietly. This past week I have had the high honor of being featured on Terri Allard’s long-running PBS show Charlottesville Inside-Out and nationally on NPR World Cafe with host Kallao and I going on a walking tour of Charlottesville.
Interviews of local music fans at the “Regarding Charlottesville Music” book release event at Champion Brewing Company on October 7, 2018. Shot by Brian Wimer, Kailee Kelter and Marco Duran. Edited by Rich Tarbell. Music by Jamie Dyer / Hogwaller Ramblers.
Exploring the Sights, the Sounds and the Stories of Charlottesville in the Modern Rock Era
This interactive exhibit, curated by Rich Tarbell & Coy Barefoot and presented by Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society, opens with a First Fridays event from 5pm-8pm on April 5th. The exhibit will be up the month of April and it is free and open to the public during typical City Space hours (9pm-5pm Mondays through Fridays).
Exploring the Sights, the Sounds and the Stories of Charlottesville in the Modern Rock Era
Opening Friday April 5th, the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society is proud to present this unprecedented new exhibit showcasing the musicians, the music, the bands, the venues and the many unforgettable moments from the “golden age” of the live music scene in Charlottesville, Virginia, from the 1960s to the 2000s.
This historic exhibit was curated by Rich Tarbell and Coy Barefoot, and was inspired by Rich’s 2018 book of collected oral histories and photography, Regarding Charlottesville Music. The exhibit is a project of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society, and was made possible thanks to a generous donation by Hunter Smith and the Champion Brewing Company of Charlottesville. The exhibit will be on display in City Space on the Downtown Mall through April 2019, after which it will be on long-term display at a new location to be announced later.
This is a link to a free 25-page preview of my book – re: Charlottesville Music Book Preview. The chapter focuses on Tokyo Rose and is comprised of interviews with Rob Sheffield, Lauren Hoffman, Darius van Arman plus Andy Deane & Tony Lechmanski of Bella Morte. Please donate to the Kickstarter campaign to get the book printed.
