(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The 2017 Asbury Park Music & Film Festival will present two special events at the House of Independents on Saturday, April 22. Beginning at 3:00pm, Dylan Archives II, rare Bob Dylan archives from the University of Tulsa, will be screened. Then at 4:45pm, Bob Santelli Presents A Conversation With Max Weinberg, an intimate conversation with the E Street Band drummer moderated by the Executive Director of the Grammy Museum.
The Dylan Archives screened at last year’s Asbury Park Music & Film Festival was widely regarded as the highlight of the entire Festival. Volume two of the exclusive Bob Dylan archival footage is already highly anticipated with many special gems expected.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and E Street Band member Max Weinberg will sit down with historian, author and Executive Director of the Grammy Museum, Bob Santelli, to discuss his career as a member of the one of the most successful bands in rock history.
The Asbury Park Music in Film Festival takes place around Asbury Park from April 20 to April 23 with a mixture of live events and film screenings.
The APMFF was founded with the mission to benefit the underserved youth in Asbury Park, one of the most challenged youth communities in the country. Funds raised through the APMFF support music programs for these children. Specifically, the APMFF will support three programs including The Hope Academy Charter School, The Hip Hop Institute and the Asbury Park Summer Recreation Music Camp. Over time, the APMFF plans to extend its reach throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The Festival will continue to provide music education, instruments and social connection opportunities for children in underserved communities.
The Asbury Park Music & Film Festival, Inc. was recently incorporated as a non-profit corporation for charitable purposes.
