8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Today's Highlight: "The Art of Music: Richie Havens, Peter Max & Hatch Show Print"
American Routes delves into the colorful convergence of art and music... from artist musicians, to painterly album covers and audacious poster art. Richie Havens was one such artist turned musician. We'll learn about his tenure as a Greenwich Village portraitist and his legendary opening act at Woodstock. Then conversation with artist Peter Max, known for his pop-art colors, cosmic subjects and iconic album covers. And a visit to Nashville's Hatch Show Print, who printed posters for musicians from Bessie Smith to Johnny Cash, for a primer on the art of letterpress
Produced in New Orleans and distributed by American Public Media.
