An Evening with Tom Shipley of Brewer & Shipley @ 2017 St. Louis International Film Festival
St. Louis filmmaker Kathy Corley is nearing completion of a feature documentary on the folk-rock duo Brewer & Shipley, whose Top 10 hit One Toke Over the Line was a constant presence on the radio in the 1970s. Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley who both now live in Missouri continue to blend guitars and voices and perform for audiences 50 years after their trademark vocal harmonies and intertwined acoustic guitars carved a unique niche in America's soundboard. In this special program, Corley will show excerpts from her work-in-progress documentary, and Shipley who also is an accomplished documentarian will screen some of his own films, including Treehouse: An Ozark Story (1989, 29 min.), which tells a tale of river life and how it has changed since the turn of the century. The film profiles Ralph Treehouse Brown famous for his gunfights, his house on stilts, and living life on his own terms and features original music by Brewer & Shipley. Tom also offers a few brief pieces that feature performances and stories by musicians hes encountered in the Ozarks and on his travels, including Missouri fiddle player Charlie Pashia, who plays a few old French songs he learned from his father; Roy Boyer, Merl Belt, and Uncle Walt, who gather to play French tunes in Roys yard; and a group of Andean pan-flute players who were filmed in Bolivia when Tom was shooting his short Tacachia. The evening concludes with a Q&A with Corley and Shipley.
