The “American Epic” at Lab will take place May 29-June 1 in Gordon Parks Arts Hall. The week will culminate with a concert from artist Hubby Jenkins June 1 from 7-8 p.m. His sound includes country blues, ragtime, fiddle, banjo and traditional jazz. On May 29, faculty and staff are invited to join teachers from the Old Town School of Folk to play the guitar.

According to the music department’s poster, people can visit the Corvus Gallery in GPAH to watch engineer Nicholas Bergh play the original 1920s Western Electric Recording System as used in the “American Epic Sessions” films.
