2 min read

Joel and Ethan Coen, T Bone Burnett, and Scott Rudin announced a benefit concert entitled Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music Of “Inside Llewyn Davis,” which will take place at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday 29 September.  The concert is inspired by music from the upcoming Coen Brothers’ film, Inside Llewyn Davis, which is set in the 1960’s Greenwich Village folk music scene.  A portion of the proceeds from the concert will benefit the National Recording Preservation Foundation.

Produced by the film’s writer/directors Joel and Ethan Coen and its executive music producer T Bone Burnett, the star-studded concert reunites the trio behind O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the highly successful concert events launched in conjunction with that film. Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music Of “Inside Llewyn Davis” will feature live performances of the film’s music, as well as songs from the early 1960s that inspired the film.
.
Artists performing at the concert include The Avett Brothers, Joan Baez, Rhiannon Giddens of Carolina Chocolate Drops, Lake Street Dive, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Milk Carton Kids, Marcus Mumford, Conor Oberst, Punch Brothers, Secret Sisters, Patti Smith, Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, Willie Watson, and Jack White. Stars of the film will also perform at the event, including Oscar Isaac (who plays the title role in the film), Carey Mulligan, John Goodman and Stark Sands.
 .
The soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis will be released on Friday 8 November. Produced by T Bone Burnett, Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen, with Marcus Mumford as its associate producer, the album features 12 new recordings created especially for the film and soundtrack. Also included is a never-before-released recording of Bob Dylan performing his song Farewell, which was originally recorded during the sessions for his album The Times They Are A-Changin’, and is available exclusively on this soundtrack.

Inside Llewyn Davis, written and directed by Academy Award® winners Joel and Ethan Coen and based on their original screenplay, was produced by Scott Rudin and Joel and Ethan Coen.  The film stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, and Justin Timberlake. Inside Llewyn Davis recently won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, and will also screen at this year’s New York Film Festival.  The film, which will be distributed by Roadshow in Australia, begins its theatrical run here on February 6.
