Peter Asher – Everywhere Man at Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series

The Cinema Series continues at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center with screenings of the music documentary “Peter Asher – Everywhere Man” on Sat., Sept. 19, and Tues., Sept. 22, at 7:30 p.m. The Tuesday night screening will be shown with captions visible on the screen.

From Beatles-era pop to the California singer-songwriter movement, Peter Asher’s life and career intersect with some of the most iconic artists and cultural moments of the last six decades. A pop star, producer, manager, and creative force, he helped shape the sound and story of modern music while working alongside Paul McCartney, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and many more. The soundtrack – woven from the timeless hits of those featured – creates a score as unforgettable as the story itself.

FilmWeek calls the film “a terrific piece of musical history.” leonardmaltin.com calls it a “highly entertaining, unabashedly nostalgic film.” The San Francisco Chronicle says it “captures a feeling of living in the epicenter of youth, excitement and creativity.” AARP Movies for Grownups says “this bighearted, culturally rich film entertains from beginning to end.” Unrated, “Peter Asher – Everywhere Man” runs one hour, 58 minutes.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. The Opera House is equipped with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or staff member.
