$5/Passholders free
Following the screening of Burn on the Bayou
Born in the historic 9th Ward of New Orleans in 1959, Al Frisby grew up smack dab in the crossroads of many of America’s musical styles. He grew up 6 blocks from Fats Domino’s and 12 blocks from Professor Longhair with Charles Brown and Erma Thomas in between. Since leaving New Orleans in the 1980’s he has thrilled audiences in the West and developed a new brand of musical comedy that is all his own. “In the fine tradition of the jester, Al Frisby takes our sacred cows and makes burgers out of them…With a 60-song repertoire, Frisby will someday share his dinner table in heaven with Frank Zappa, Weird Al Yankovic, Mark Russel, Bette Midler, Alan Sherman and Tom Lehrer.” -Nancy Redwine, Santa Cruz Sentinel

Scraffle tickets will be available for purchase during the Festival at all screenings until Friday May 16th at 9pm, during the documentary Les Paul – Chasing Sound at the Rio Theatre. The Chameleon is a gorgeous shifting-colored guitar made by the Wizard of Waukesha himself, Les Paul.
