Due to high winds and the possibility of scattered thunderstorms, NewportFILM has relocated tonight’s screening of Ron Delsener Presents. The event, which was originally to take place outdoors, will now move inside to Newport’s Casino Theatre at 8:00 pm.

The documentary tracks the 60+ year career of New York concert promoter and iconoclast Ron Delsener. Ron Delsener Presents features appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Van Zandt, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Buffett, Lorne Michaels, Bette Midler, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Cher, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye, Peter Shapiro and many others.

As NewportFILM notes, “From the Beatles at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, to bringing David Bowie to Carnegie Hall and Patti Smith to the Palladium, to somehow convincing Simon and Garfunkel to come back together to play the biggest concert ever in Central Park, Ron Delsener was behind it all.” All of these achievements and many others are explored in the documentary.

Following the screening, director Jake Sumner will be on hand for a conversation with Relix editor Dean Budnick.
