Once the center of the New York bohemia, Greenwich Village is now home to lux restaurants, and buzzer door clothing stores catering to the nouveau riche. But one shop in the heart of the Village remains resilient to the encroaching gentrification: Carmine Street Guitars.
There, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels, bars, churches and other local buildings. Nothing looks or sounds quite like a Rick Kelly guitar, which is the reason they are embraced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, just to name a few.
Featuring a cast of prominent musicians and artists, and some virtuoso performances, the film captures five days in the life of one shop in the heart of Greenwich Village that remains resilient to an all-too-quickly vanishing way of life

Award-winning global entertainment and event distributor Trafalgar Releasing brought the filmed version of the star-studded tribute concert, The Music Center Presents Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration, to more than 410 movie theaters across the US and Canada on Thursday, February 7, for a one-night cinema event. This successful theatrical release, which has already amassed more than half a million dollars at the box office, comes on the heels of Trafalgar Releasing’s record-breaking release of Burn the Stage: the Movie featuring K-Pop sensation BTS, and the critically acclaimed Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams, which both released in November 2018.
By popular demand, The Music Center Presents Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration has added 115 showings lasting through March 3 in select markets. Cities which saw the highest turnout from fans included Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento, Providence, RI and Portland, OR.
“We are so excited that this project continues to receive such a passionate and positive response from fans,” said Trafalgar Releasing SVP of Programming Kymberli Frueh. “From start to finish, the filmed version encapsulates the music and magic audiences experienced live at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in November 2018, and it’s through the film’s sound and cinematography that our team – along with The Music Center – feel we helped pay tribute to a true music legend, along with all of the incredible artists that performed over those two nights”
Captured live at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, this special event features Brandi Carlile; Glen Hansard; Emmylou Harris; Norah Jones; Chaka Khan; Diana Krall; Kris Kristofferson; Los Lobos with La Marisoul, Cesar Castro & Xochi Flores; Graham Nash; James Taylor; Seal; and Rufus Wainwright, who performed many of Mitchell’s songs including A Case of You; Both Sides, Now; Down To You; For The Roses; The Boho Dance; and Two Grey Rooms; among others. Co-musical directors, providing the musical arrangements for the show, are percussionist Brian Blade, who recorded three studio albums and toured extensively with Mitchell, and, pianist, composer, arranger producer Jon Cowherd. In addition to the live concert and cinema release from Trafalgar Releasing and The Music Center, an album featuring the participating artists, entitled “The Music Center Presents Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration” will also be available March 8.
