Soundtrack Release Party for Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary

The Miniplex at Richards’ Goat Tavern

Dell’Arte Celebrates the Release of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for “Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary” on 2-15 at Richard’s Goat Tavern! The original motion picture soundtrack for the upcoming Dell’Arte film “Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary” will debut for public listening and sales at a CD release party on Monday, February 15 from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. at Richard’s Goat Tavern and Tea Room in Arcata. The public is invited to visit with artists and members of the production team, preview and purchase the official motion picture soundtrack, watch exclusive clips from the film, and sing along with the Mary Jane band. “Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary” is a film adaptation of Dell’Arte International’s highest-attended stage production, “Mary Jane: The Musical,” an original musical revue that explores the social, economic, and political issues surrounding cannabis cultivation and legalization in Humboldt County. Devised by Dell’Arte Artistic Director, Michael Fields, the production draws on voices from across the county. Ten local songwriters contributed to the seventeen songs featured on the soundtrack and in the stage production after Fields put out a call to local musicians to write about Humboldt cannabis culture. The songs vary in musical styles and approaches from Bollywood to reggae to salsa. Lila Nelson’s “Grow Inside” is a humorous story of unrequited love between an indoor plant and outdoor plant. Joanie Rose’s “My Son” laments the effects of children raised in a black market family business. Scott Menzie’s songs pull no punches about the psychic and environmental impact of the local multi-million dollar industry and the threat of corporate interests. Attendees at the party on February 15 will get a first look at the film, produced in partnership with Emmy-nominated filmmaker John Howarth. Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary takes the story off the stage and into the hills where musical numbers and documentary footage were shot on location throughout Humboldt County. The film is slated for release in Summer 2016. The public is invited to learn more about the film and to celebrate the soundtrack release at the Mary Jane: A Musical Potumentary soundtrack release party on Monday, February 15.
