In 1958, while honing her craft, a 17-year-old singer going by the name of Joan Baez took to the stage at the iconic ‘Club 47’ in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The venue, which became the epicentre of the folk music scene around the area from 1958-1968, would see the likes of Shawn Colvin, Bob Dylan, Tom Rush, Joni Mitchell and more kickstart their careers from their intimate stage.
Joan Baez would be the name that sticks out following her breakthrough show in the late 1950s. The footage, which was once considered lost, was restored by American Masters who created a feature film celebrating fifty years of Baez in Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound.
