New Festival Shines Light on Undervalued Greenwich Village Music History<\/h3>\n

This weekend (Sept. 27-30) in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, a new festival entitled\u00a0The Village Trip<\/a>\u00a0will shine a light on a neighborhood whose artistic and historical riches are as curious and circuitous as its winding, brick-laden streets.

Liz Thomson, a London-based journalist, has nurtured a lifelong interest in Greenwich Village. “Baez was my gateway drug,” says the Village Trip co-founder\/executive producer of her interest in the ’60s New York folk revival, a fertile scene of music and protest that involved a post-blacklist Pete Seeger, a pre-fame Bob Dylan and a lot of acoustic guitars. Falling for Joan Baez, Vol. 2 <\/em>and learning guitar as a kid, Thomson’s passion for music continued throughout college (she earned a music degree) and into her journalism career (one of her first gigs was interviewing Leonard Cohen in the ’80s prior to his comeback).<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to 1995. Thomson is a working reporter\u00a0and she gets an offer from U.K. publication Mojo<\/em> to visit the neighborhood that captured her imagination as a teen. The reason, coincidentally, is Joan Baez,\u00a0then in the midst of recording an album in the storied (but now-shuttered) Greenwich venue The Bottom Line. Mojo<\/em> wanted her to cover the Rings Them Bells<\/em> sessions, and she only too happily agreed.<\/p>\n
