Blackwood Brothers Present
The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records (1917-1932)

Join CCV members, volunteers and friends for a unique gathering up close and personal with the Blackwood brothers Sunday, December 1 from 4-6pm at the historic Neill Cochran House.

Our featured guests will be brothers Dean Blackwood (Revenant Records, Dell attorney by day) and Scott Blackwood (PEN USA award-winning local author). They will discuss their collaboration on a Grammy award-winning 2-volume collection of early Paramount Records recordings (1917-1932). You'll also hear rare tracks from the 2-volume set and participate in a Q&A with time for mingling and conversation afterward.

Registration is limited. Registration: $30. Includes wine and light bites. FREE on-site parking; accessible.

How did a Wisconsin chair company, producing records on the cheap and run by men with little knowledge of their audience or the music business, build one of the greatest musical rosters ever assembled under one roof? The answer lies in "The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records 1917-1932," an epic, two-volume omnibus of art, words and music housed in a limited-edition, hand-sculpted cabinet-of-wonder, jointly released by Jack White's Third Man Records and John Fahey's Revenant Records.
