Directed and produced by Ruth Oxenberg and Rob Schumer (2003) 86 mins, suitable for all ages. 2005 Jammy Award Nominee BLUEGRASS JOURNEY is a documentary film that features extended and intimately captured performances by The Del McCoury Band, Nickel Creek, Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien, Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, Rhonda Vincent, The Lonesome River Band, Bob Paisley and the Southern Grass, Pete Wernick and many others. In the tradition of WOODSTOCK, THE LAST WALTZ, and JAZZ ON A SUMMER’S DAY, BLUEGRASS JOURNEY weaves together performance, verité-style cinematography, and interviews. Set largely at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Ancramdale, New York, and at the annual International Bluegrass Music Association’s convention in Kentucky, this affectionate film reveals breathtaking musical virtuosity, passionate and joyous audience dedication, and the rich artistry and spirit that infuse one of America’s great musical genres. “stunning footage, musical brilliance, the perfect marriage of marvellous cinema and music.” The Nashville City Paper “...brilliantly combines backstage footage, interviews, and extended performances to make a lovingly detailed portrait of the music and those at the forefront of making it.” Florida Film Festival “This illuminating program should satisfy bluegrass lovers, novices, and neophytes alike. Enthusiastically recommended.” Library Journal |
