Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted is a wildly entertaining and unconventional documentary about convention-defying singer, songwriter and record producer Jerry Williams, aka Swamp Dogg. One of the great cult figures of 20th Century American music, Williams’ singular career has shaped the history of soul, country, hip-hop and a dozen other genres.
In Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted, the octogenarian artist and his “bachelor pad of aging musicians,” including the charming Guitar Shorty and the quirky Moogstar, navigate the tumultuous music industry, transform their home into an artistic playground and invite fellow musicians like John Prine and Jenny Lewis to play in their musical sandbox… while their pool gets painted. Bursting with infectious personality and stoner energy, Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted is a music doc like no other.
And join us anytime after 4pm for asado! Details below.
PS21’s first ever season-long food offering, Asado21 is a new extension of Colonia Verde’s famed Sunday Asado series, inviting guests to gather around the fire to experience food, flavor, and community—right before each show at PS21.
Driven by Chef Felipe Donnelly, whose cooking draws inspiration from Latin America and the power of simple, live-fire ingredients, each asado celebrates seasonal creativity and soulful technique. With wines curated by Tamy Rofe, our natural wine selections feature thoughtful, expressive producers from around the world, always poured with intention and accompanied by a story.
Asado21 kicks off Sunday, July 6th, and will be available on the beautiful PS21 lawn & patio before every performance of the season from that point on.
