Emmylou Harris is a 12-time Grammy winner, which alone is plenty of reason to catch this show. Her latest release, “Old Yellow Moon,” is a 12-song duet album with country music legend Rodney Crowell who I worked with on Dolly Parton’s record. Even if you aren’t a country fan, Emmylou should be well worth it.

Tuesday,  Jan. 15:
‘Touching Ground: Finding
the American South’
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
20 x 24 Polaroids by
Jennifer Trausch
The Snite Museum Of Art
100 Moose Krause Circle,
Notre Dame
(574) 631-5466

Photography aficionados won’t want to miss this exhibit. Trausch’s photography is of interest and the film format is an endangered species, only five of the large format 20 x 24 cameras made by Polaroid still exist.  I had no idea Polaroid did large-format instants and the results are unique and noteworthy.

(NOTE: this website is not the artist’s, but great background on the 20×24 format with a great video.)

MOVIE: “A Late Quartet”

50 N. Main St., Three
Rivers
(269) 278-8068

I love arty films. When I lived in New York, I used to love to catch things at the Film Forum in the Village. Living in L.A. in the heart of the film industry, I could see most anything.
I’m thrilled to see the Riviera bringing this new film with Philip Seymour-Hoffman, Christopher Walken, and Catherine Keener to the area.
