In the small mountain town of Heber Springs, Arkansas, the brilliant but eccentric photographer Mike Disfarmer captured the lives and emotions of rural America during World War II. Disfarmer’s stark portraiture has been hailed as the work of artistic genius, recalling the powerful Depression Era iconography of Walker Evans. Captivated and inspired by Disfarmer’s work, celebrated jazz guitarist and composer Bill Frisell wrote the music for The Disfarmer Project, to be performed live against the backdrop of multiple projected images from Disfarmer’s treasure trove of distinctive period portraits. Frisell’s unique Americana sound has earned multiple Grammys and his band—featuring violinist Jenny Scheinman, steel guitarist Greg Leisz, and bassist Viktor Krauss—is equally extraordinary.
