RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World is an electrifying look at the Native American influence in popular music — despite attempts to ban, censor and erase Indian culture. The film reveals how early pioneers of the blues and jazz had Native American roots, and as the folk-rock era took hold in the '60s and '70s, Native Americans such as Peter La Farge and Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to define its evolution, while Native guitarists and drummers such as Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis, and many more forever changed the trajectory of rock and roll. Supported by a grant from Art Bridges. Sponsored by Morsels of Traverse City.
Francis Francois Carew is a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and is a classically trained guitarist with over 34 years of guitar experience. He has a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical guitar Performance and a Masters of Arts in Musicology from Wayne State University. Carew specializes in finger-style guitar and brings the perspective of classical guitar to classical, jazz-blues, flamenco, and rock guitar styles. He is a professional guitarist and guitar instructor in the greater Traverse City area and has been on the guitar faculty of the Interlochen Arts Academy’s Guitar Festival and Workshop. Carew is also the librarian for the GTB Heritage Library and an NMC Alum. He is an extraordinary musician and has an excellent technical command of the guitar, which allows him to bring out its sensitive, melodious, and harmonic nature.
