The Salida SteamPlant Event Center will be hosting a movie series titled, Songs On Screen beginning Aug. 29. According to Salida SteamPlant’s event calendar, “We invite all to take a tuneful journey each month with a performance -filled film profiling some of music’s biggest names, both past and present, or a story that is driven by the soul of the music.”

August’s movie will be 40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie, beginning at 7 p.m. on Aug. 29 at the SteamPlant.
The movie description listed on the Salida SteamPlant event calendar adds, “One of the most fondly-remembered bands of the Boulder revolution was Magic Music. These guys were the real deal: living in teepees, cabins and converted school buses up in the Boulder mountain ranges, only leaving their camp to grace city-folk and university students with their sweet melodies.”
The description continues, “With their original songs, acoustic instruments and tight harmonies, Magic Music was tremendously popular in Boulder and many people expected them to go on to much wider success. Although they had their fair share of ‘almosts’ over the years, the group never made a record deal and eventually broke up in 1976.”
The screenings are planned as a monthly event, on the last Thursdays of each month. Concessions will be available, in addition to a cash bar and popcorn. The ticket fee is $9, and tickets can be purchased by visiting the SteamPlant Box Office.
