The Ponderosa Stomp Going Clandestine

The Ponderosa Stomp is going beyond music this year with the addition of a music history conference and film series during the day before the concerts, then a record hop.

This year's Clandestine Celluloid film series moves to One Eyed Jacks, a few blocks from the Music History Conference being held in the Cabildo in Jackson Square. For film series producer Madeleine Molyneaux, Clandestine Celluloid, the second incarnation of the moving image component of the Ponderosa Stomp "will expose Stomp attendees to film subjects and archival footage that have, due to circumstances often beyond filmmaker or audience control, remained secret, silenced or submerged …until now."

The two-day series, with filmmakers Les Blank, Bradley Beesley and others in attendance, includes the first ever public screening of "It's What's Happening, Baby!, a 1965 TV special hosted by the infamous East Coast DJ Murray the K, a sneak preview of the film-in-progress "Bayou Maharajah" about New Orleans piano legend James Booker, "Hot Pepper", the story of Clifton Chenier , and some extremely clandestine films that have been scarcely seen and hotly pursued by those who have heard the whispers. - more on this story

Rock-n-Roll Gourmet Grammy for Kids Tour

Don't let the headline fool you, there is a tour involved, read on for all the details: In tune with its mission to offer consumers healthy snacks "with a rock-n-roll attitude," Rock-n-Roll Gourmet, LLC, maker of Hippie Chips, has entered a multi-year agreement with the GRAMMY Foundation to launch a percentage-of-sales initiative that will benefit the Foundation's GRAMMY in the Schools music education programs for high school students.

Rock-n-Roll Gourmet was founded in June 2009 by Dan and Jean Ehrlich, husband-and-wife musicians who recognized an unfulfilled niche for snacks that are both healthy and great-tasting. With colorful packaging and fun musical references (Hippie Chips flavors like "Woodstock Ranch" and "White Room Cheddar"), each bag also features a "Music Showcase" section that promotes new musical artists.

Rock-n-Roll Gourmet will promote its GRAMMY Foundation initiative at retail through a strong Back-to-School effort this fall. Concurrently, it will roll out "The Mother Chip," a refurbished, open-top, 1949 Crown bus that will visit public and private schools nationwide.

Talks are underway with the GRAMMY Foundation and Grammy Museum to potentially incorporate GRAMMY exhibit materials. - more on this story
