Where to watch

American Masters

American Masters is an ongoing series of award-winning primetime specials examining the lives, works, and creative processes of our most outstanding cultural artists. Created in 1984 by Susan Lacy and produced by Thirteen/WNET for national public television, the series is both a celebration and an exploration of creativity in America.

Premiering Oct. 14: Joan Baez

American Masters explores fifty years in the life of folk legend and human rights activist Joan Baez in Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound, featuring rare performance footage and candid interviews with David Crosby, Bob Dylan, ex-husband David Harris, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Roger McGuinn, and more.

Joan Baez made her debut appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1959. Fifty years later she returned to that same Rhode Island stage on August 2, marking her and the festival’s 50th anniversaries. She is presently on a worldwide tour in celebration of her 50 years as a performer and in support of her Grammy-nominated CD, Day After Tomorrow.

In the first comprehensive documentary to chronicle Baez's private life and public career, American Masters examines her history as a recording artist and performer as well as her remarkable journey as the conscience of a generation.

Hear a full-length concert by Joan Baez, recorded in 2008 at Cambridge's Sanders Theatre and aired on WGBH 89.7's Folk on WGBH
