Revellers celebrated Inside Llewyn Davis Wednesday night in Santa Monica ahead of its Closing Night screening at AFI Fest (taking placeThursday) complete with a concert from the film’s popular soundtrack, which is already a hit on iTunes.

Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the film, which had its U.S. premiere at the 51st New York Film Festival, stars Oscar Isaac as an idealistic folk singer in 1961 Greenwich Village. The Coens mixed with the crowd as music producer T-Bone Burnett introduced the night’s musical guests including Oscar Isaac who performed a number of the songs from the film. “Please make this like a quiet Greenwich Village club,” Burnett implored to the crowd before the acts headed to the stage.

The crowd mostly obliged. And what a crowd it was! In addition to the Coens, producer Scott Rudin, actor John Goodman were in the crowd along with none other than Barbra Streisand, who sat to the right of the stage along with Norman Lear and Ted Danson. If the musical performers were nervous singing their folk tunes in front of Streisand — this year’s Chaplin Award recipient — they did not let on. Also in the crowd was Moby along with a hodgepodge of actors and Hollywood notables including Steve Martin (who played one number on stage with his banjo), Mary Steenburgen, Jennifer Leigh, Fred Willard, James Brolin, Joe Wright.

Bands wowed the audience who dined on a buffet at The Buffalo Club off Olympic Blvd. The show actually took place over two sets keeping revealers going passed midnight.
