In the late 1960s, taking their cue from American rock bands like The Byrds, The Band, and The Flying Burrito Brothers, who had forged American roots music with rock and roll, British bands like Fairport Convention and The Pentangle began to do the same with their own folk music roots. What blossomed from this in the early 1970s was a British folk-rock boom, with acts such as Steeleye Span, John Martyn, Nick Drake, and many more joining the fray, and succeeding in making their mark not only in Britain but also on the US music scene.
HAVE FAITH: all the words I haven't said is a powerfull performance and open mic community celebration, featuring FAITH McCorkle channeling live soundscapes and spoken word to close out the transformative solo exhibition in the Amalie Riotschchild Gallery, HAVE FAITH.
