As a society, we can, and should, do more to support our artists as leaders in the community.” “The opening night of the Sundance Film Festival is a perfect occasion to celebrate the incredible artists, audiences and supporters who together fuel the creative community of Sundance Institute - dedicated to independent voices, risk-taking art, and stories thatT seek truth and forge connections,” said Keri Putnam, CEOC of Sundance Institute. “As a visionary leader in the philanthropic space, Darren and his inspiring work embody the spirit of Sundance Institute and we are pleased to honor him with the Vanguard Award for Philanthropy.” While this is the first special iteration of the Vanguard to honor a philanthropist, Sundance Institute has previously f presented the Vanguard Leadi ership Award to established m filmmakers and the Vanguard a Emerging Award to new indet pendent storytellers. Previous p winners of the Vanguard Award g include Lulu Wang, Boots Riley, Marielle Heller, Benh w Zeitlin, Ryan Coogler, Damien t Chazelle and Dee Rees; winners of the Vanguard Leaderr ship Award include Quentin e Tarantino, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Glenn Close, and Roger Ebert. Mellencamp became the songwriter’s 1989 debut album, “Too Long in the Wasteland.” “I knew it was possible to become a singer-songwriter because I knew people who were doing it,” McMurtry said. “I knew it was possible, but I didn’t really think about getting a record deal until (John) Mellencamp called me and asked if I wanted to do a record.” McMurtry decided to go ahead with the album, which Mellencamp co-produced. “I thought there was a chance that I may crash and burn, but if I knew if I didn’t take the opportunity now, the door might not ever open up again,” he said. To this day McMurtry is surprised Columbia Records didn’t drop him after he released the album. “As I listen to my old stuff, I find that I really couldn’t sing at all,” he said. “If I’d known how much I sucked, I wouldn’t have kept doing it.” The songwriter, however, kept at it. “Eventually I learned how to sing on the job, and got better at it,” he said. “I was given the opportunity to get better and keep doing it, but I still don’t know why.” These days McMurtry continues to make music, because, he says, it pays the mortgage. “I would probably be happy to sit on a barstool and not do another thing, but I don’t get to do that,” he said with a laugh. “I say that; I know that if you don’t do anything it will drive you crazy, You don’t have a sense of worth when you’re doing nothing. But it is tempting to just sit and watch the world go by.” McMurtry confessed he had to force himself to finish his next album, which he plans to release sometime in 2020. “I just had to book the studio time, so I would be under intense pressure to get the songs written or they would still be half-written on my hard drive,” he said with a laugh. While McMurtry has experienced many challenges throughout his career, he said completing a song is always a struggle. “Starting a song isn’t a problem, but it’s hard to finish a song where it’s usable,” he said. “I think if you can sing a song without cringing, it will become more than the sum of its parts. And when that happens, it might be done.” Even then, he said, he will still tweak them when he plays live. “When I released ‘State of the Union,’ the arrangement was a little half-baked at the time,” he said. “It’s much better now.” McMurtry likes to perform live, and he enjoys the show more if he can get people dancing. “When they dance, you know they’re having a good time,” he said. “If they just sit and look at you, they might be having a good time, but you never know.” T w m Get all the latest Park Record updates. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 24 26 30 33 34 35 36 Freudian __ One with unrefined tastes Peck in the park, briefly An era may be confined to one Camping treat Brilliant stroke One may be measured in cups It’s under Wayne Manor French border region Oft-beaded footwear W. state whose largest city is named for a New England city Perfect score, often Hurry, with “it” Challenges for climbers Swanky Taiwanese tech giant Rover’s destination ID __ Tick off Ones crying foul?
