KVMR PRESENTS WHO IS BOZO TEXINO

Tuesday, September 23rd at 7:00pm

Please join us for a special screening of the documentary Who is Bozo Texino?  – with live music provided by Two Runner and The Dessert Boys – from 7:00 to 10:00 pm on Tuesday, September 23rd at the Nevada Theatre in downtown Nevada City!

While riding freight trains and compiling oral histories from fellow riders and railroad workers he met along the way, Bill Daniel documented a phenomenon of American train car graffiti –– monikers and mark-making once practiced extensively throughout the United States by people living, hopping and working on and around trains.  Daniel utilizes storytelling, mythmaking, and folklore to express themes of wanderlust, the formation of identity and community, and the success and failure of commodified labor.  Daniel was awarded the 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship for the film.

Since its completion in 2005, Who is Bozo Texino? has screened widely to diverse audiences, from MOMA in New York and film festivals world-wide, to hundreds of DIY spaces.  Who is Bozo Texino? is recognized as a pioneering work on this previously overlooked subject, and has become a cult film among freight hoppers, graffiti fans, and punk folklorists.

Local favorites Two Runner are songwriter Paige Anderson and fiddler Emilie Rose from Nevada County, California.  Two Runner self-released their debut album, Modern Cowboy, in the spring of 2023 and have shared the stage with: Sierra Ferrell, Watchhouse, Jesse Daniel, Nick Shoulders, Charlie Parr, and many more.

The Dessert Boys are a new country band from Nevada County who are dusting off tracks that time forgot, featuring: Shana Cleveland (La Luz), Will Sprott (Shannon and the Clams), Dave Easlick (Jackie O’Motherfu*ker), Anna Hillburg, Bill Rousseau, and pedal steel whiz Barry Anderson.  Please, no requests!
