"Searching for Sugarman"

Saturday, August 1 at 7 pm, join us as we present the Oscar winning documentary film "Searching for Sugarman".

In the early 1970s, Sixto Rodriguez was a Detroit folksinger who had a short-lived recording career with only two well received but non-selling albums. Unknown to Rodriguez, his musical story continued in South Africa where he became a pop music icon and inspiration for generations.

Long rumored there to be dead by suicide, a few fans in the 1990s decided to seek out the truth of their hero's fate. What follows is a bizarrely heartening story in which they found far more in their quest than they ever hoped, while a Detroit construction laborer discovered that his lost artistic dreams came true after all.

Tickets are $12.00 general admission and available online, at Seastrand (919 Linden Ave. with cash or check only), at Rincon Music (5432-C Carpinteria Ave., with cash or check only) and at the theater box office prior to showtime. This film is rated PG-13 and has a run time of 86 minutes.
