FOR THE LOVE OF THE MUSIC is a documentary exploring the rich history of Club 47, the iconic Cambridge, Massachusetts folk music mecca from 1958-1968. Narrated by Peter Coyote, it explores the influence the Club had on a unique group of folk musicians, from the evolution of the 60s folk revival to the singer-songwriter era. Featured are interviews with Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, Judy Collins, Tom Rush, Peter Rowan and many more. The film features previously unreleased audio recordings and photographs of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez as well as new performances from the still-performing stars of Club 47 along with today’s emerging folk performers.
