Summary: |
This series consists of the publicity photos and files of performers
and craftsmen involved with the Florida Folklife Festivals from 1954 until
1992. Most of the photos were taken at the festivals during the performances.
However, many were submitted by the performers to the Folklife Festival
as a publicity package to offer their services for the Festival. Also
contained in the files are newspaper clippings which refer to the performers,
when and where they were performing in the surrounding area, and any mention
of the Florida Folklife Festival.
The performers were individuals, bands, storytellers, puppeteers,
cloggers, square dancers, dancing groups, and ethnic groups, playing any
and all types of instruments from autoharps to zithers, including psalterys,
dulcimers, guitars, and doors. The performers include Arlo Guthrie,
Jimmy Buffet, Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio, Bob and Evelyn Beers, Doc
and Merle Watson, and the Reverend Thurlow Weed. |
