“…A FASCINATING INTRODUCTION TO THE WAYS THAT CORE COMPONENTS OF AMERICANA WOULDN’T BE ERADICATED. OR SILENCED.” – LOS ANGELES TIMES

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World is a Canadian documentary film by Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana, released in 2017. The film profiles the impact of Indigenous musicians from Canada and the United States on the development of rock music. Artists profiled include Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Link Wray, Jesse Ed Davis, Stevie Salas, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Robbie Robertson, Randy Castillo, Jimi Hendrix and others. The title of the film is a reference to the pioneering instrumental “Rumble”, released in 1958 by the American group Link Wray & His Ray Men. The instrumental piece was very influential on many artists.

There will be a Q&A to follow the film screening with Stevie Salas, a Native American guitarist, author, television host, music director, record producer and film composer.
