Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait
Jenny Scheinman
Jenny Scheinman, a violinist, fiddler, singer-songwriter, and the project's conceptual director, writes and performs original and archival Americana Roots music that stirs deep yearnings to return to a simpler time. Working with film-maker and director Finn Taylor (The Darwin Awards, Cherish, Dream with the Fishes), her project Kannapolis features archival film from the Great Depression by H. Lee Waters to weave a compelling narrative of a time long past. Themes of family, community, and hands-on industry underscored by labor songs and fiddle tunes resonate with fresh meaning in modern times.
