The Silverlake Public Library is hosting an afternoon of music and
conversation devoted to the Ash Grove, the Los Angeles club that from 1958
to 1973 acted as a venue for the music and politics that shaped the 1960s
counterculture. Come hear several of the figures that helped create the
club's path-breaking blend of music and politics share their experiences and
memories, from Ed Pearl, founder and operator of the Ash Grove, to Bernie
Pearl, musician and co-founder of the Ash Grove School of Traditional Music,
and Gordy Alexandre, longtime manager and eyewitness to the violence
directed at the club because of its role in encouraging the radical politics
of that era.
This event is designed to introduce the public to an ongoing oral history
project focused on recovering the vibrant world that the Ash Grove was a
part of, and which the club helped bring into existence. The project has
collected interviews not only with musicians and those who helped run the
Ash Grove - but also those who attended the club and were deeply moved by
the experience. While its most pivotal years saw the club become a center
for the 1960s counterculture in Los Angeles, this club continues to live and
inspire people whose social, musical and political sensibilities were formed
in part within its walls. The interviews will be collected along with the
rest of the Ash Grove archive at the Ethnomusicology Library at UCLA, though
the work is far from over. If you have a memory of the club, please consider
attending this event, and also adding your memories to the project.
The event is free and open to all. Come hear about this moment in Los
Angeles history, and your memories as well. There will be time for questions
and comments after the presentation.
This program, and project, is sponsored by the California Council of the
Humanities Story Fund.
