Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary returns to Woodstock, NY to perform with soulful roots duo Bethany & Rufus, featuring Yarrow’s daughter Bethany and virtuoso cellist Rufus Cappadocia. Together the three musicians revisit the Woodstock of Peter’s youth, musically and historically, visiting his long-abandoned summer home, and singing about the music of spirit and conscience that inspires them, individually and collectively. Filmed at the Bearsville Theatre, the special features special appearances by Bethany & Rufus’ friends from around the globe, including Mady Koyate on Malian kora, Bonga Jean-Baptiste on Hatian percussion, and Chuck Campbell of the renowned Campbell Brothers on pedal steel. As folk classics “Puff, The Magic Dragon” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” meet Bethany & Rufus’ blend of contemporary groove, roots and world music, Peter is pulled into the vitality of both generations’ music, and comes full circle to celebrate his dream, now continued and transformed by the next generation.
