On Aug. 18, 1969, former soldier Jimi Hendrix, resplendent in bright red headband, white fringed shirt and bell-bottom blue jeans, unfurled what has been called the cultural moment of the 1960s when he played an incendiary instrumental version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” for remnants of the crowd at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y.
Check out Amazon Music’s 50th Anniversary Woodstock Playlist that rekindles some of the magic behind this historic music festival. Forty songs that helped change the face of music.
The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation has been awarded a $75,000 grant through 4Culture’s Cultural Facilities Program to be used for the ongoing construction work at Jimi Hendrix Park.
This highly competitive grant process saw two expert peer panels reviewing more than $15 million in funding requests from fellow non-profit organizations throughout King County.
“Hendrix’s work is about maintaining a hunger for creative expression, wherever it may lead.”
Uncut Magazine introduces its latest JIMI HENDRIX: THE DELUXE ULTIMATE MUSIC GUIDE on newsstands later this week.
The Hendrix family companies, Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of D.A. Pennebaker, the creative and innovative documentary filmmaker who pioneered a new style of music film production. From his debut shortfilm DAYBREAK EXPRESS (1953), to the hit Bob Dylan film, DON’T LOOK BACK (1967) or to his introspective David Bowie film ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS (1973), his films were both critically acclaimed and universally celebrated by music fans.
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock, FYE is releasing Jimi Hendrix’s Live At Woodstock on Purple Haze Vinyl! Available August 2nd – get yours today!
