Julie Johnson & The No-Accounts at the Black Dog Coffee & Wine Bar

Julie Johnson & The No-Accounts is made up of me on flute, Doug Otto on vocals and guitar, and Drew Druckrey on guitar, resonator guitar, vocals, and mandolin. If you missed our debut show at the Fine Line, or left that show wanting more, here's your chance ...

We play folk, old country, and blues with unusual stylizations and arrangements. Currently we're adding to our standard repertoire by finding and arranging old North Woods logging and voyageur songs, looking for the Upper Midwest's equivalent to the South's rich roots tradition. Our set includes a version of Leadbelly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” influenced by music from Carmen, and a version of the little-known Bob Dylan tune “Winterlude” for flute, vocals, mandolin, and bass clarinet.

Learn more about the group, and listen to some of our music.

MCKNIGHT SCREENWRITING AND FILMMAKING FELLOWS PRESENT THEIR AWARD-WINNING WORK

Each year, the McKnight Foundation and IFP Media Arts award four $25,000 Fellowships to Minnesota’s mid-career filmmakers and screenwriters. This year, the talented 2009 Fellowship recipients will present their work and answer your questions on March 10th at The Loft Literary Center. We’re calling them the “McKnighty-Nights.” Bedtime snacks will follow.

McKnighty-Nights, Part II: The Filmmakers

It’s story time with the 2009 McKnight Filmmaking Fellows! Cozy up to these talented artists as they reveal the magic that got them their $25,000 Fellowships. (And by “magic” we mean hard work, talent, and good luck.) Rolf Belgum and Mark Wojahn will discuss their latest projects and show clips from their award-winning films. These filmmakers tell the stories of families who are a bit…odd, in one way or another. But their filmic approaches to these stories are dramatically different. Emily Goldberg will moderate a discussion about the fine line between fiction and non-fiction, revelation and exploitation, and the essence of what makes a movie worth watching.

Rolf Belgum’s film Driver 23 is the lowest budget film ever purchased by a major network and aired on the Sundance Channel from 2001-2003.

Mark Wojahn sees "film and activism as means for building and connecting with community, for raising personal collective awareness, and for exploring the realms of consciousness and humanity." Reviews of Mark's work have appeared in Mother Jones, City Pages, Star Tribune, and the New Art Examiner. Awards include 2004 Best Film of the Twin Cities, (City Pages), 2003 Artist of the Year, (City Pages). His films include What America Needs: from Sea to Shining Sea, 2003 and What America Needs: An Interior Expedition, 1995. His most recent film, Trampoline, a documentary feature about a South Minneapolis family with four teenagers, will be screening in festivals in 2010.

Emily Goldberg’s Emmy award-winning documentary work has screened in numerous film festivals, from the International Documentary Festival in Amsterdam to the Museum of Modern Art.
