As part of our Revolutionary Music: Music for Social Change Programmatic Theme and Lowell Lecture Series, join us for a screening of a film celebrating the untold story of a Filipina American founded garage band that morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, the first band of women to release an LP with a major label (Warner/Reprise, 1970).
Despite releasing five critically acclaimed albums and counting David Bowie as one of their most vocal fans, Fanny's groundbreaking impact in music has been lost in the mists of time...until bandmates reunited 50 years later with a new record deal and chance to right the wrongs of music history.
Fanny: The Right to Rock (2021 | 1hr 36min) directed by Bobbi Jo Hart features Bonnie Raitt and bandmembers Jean Millington, June Millington, Brie Howard, Alice de Buhr, Nickey Barclay and Patti Quatro.
