The State Theatre

06/13/2025

TONIGHT ONLY- The State Theatre presents a limited theatrical release of Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between. Join us for a look into the fifty-year career of this genre-bending, biracial singer-songwriter once anticipated to be one of the biggest names in Rock and Roll. Jeffreys never quite reached the success that was predicted for him- this film asks why and explores how his commitment to writing about race in the United States is more relevant now than ever.

Here's some recent feedback:

° Magnificent
° A uniquely American story
° Truly insightful
° The story of a singularly original artist
° A fabulous testament to his place in music
° It brought me to tears
° Makes you feel as if you know him
° Excellent summary of a career

Doors open at 7:15PM for an 8:00PM screening, see you there!
