Filmmaker Kenny Dalsheimer was born 29 May 1960 in Baltimore, Md. In 1982, he received a bachelors of arts from Connecticut College. Dalsheimer moved to Durham, N.C., in 1983 to do graduate work in anthropology at Duke University. Following graduate school, he taught middle school for ten years at the Carolina Friends School before leaving to become a freelance documentary filmmaker. His first effort was Go Fast, Turn Left: Voices from Orange County Speedway (1997), which looks at the grassroots of stock car racing.

Following the success of that film, he was approached by Jamie Hysjulien, a teacher at the Carolina Friends School, who had met blues musician Richard Trice and thought that his connection to Durham's blues scene would be a great subject for a documentary. Dalsheimer and Hysjulien made Shine On: Richard Trice and the Bull City Blues in 1999. The film traces Trice's life as a blues musician and follows him after he stopped playing the blues for religious reasons.

The Kenny Dalsheimer collection consists of transcripts and videotapes from the documentary film Shine On: Richard Trice and the Bull City Blues (1999) and video masters from the documentary film Go Fast, Turn Left: Voices from Orange County Speedway (1997). Shine On: Richard Trice and the Bull City Blues (1999) traces the career Durham, N.C., blues musician Richard Trice. Videotapes feature interviews with Trice; trips to where he lived, worked, and performed; and footage of a 1998 blues workshop at the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham with Trice and blues musician John Dee Holeman. Go Fast, Turn Left: Voices from Orange County Speedway (1997) examines the grassroots of stock car racing. Videotapes feature interviews with drivers, family members, and track officials and footage of minor league racing.
