“BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey-ultimately, the promise that the future holds-are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating.”
The movie includes the input of Eric Clapton, Erykah Badu, Elvis Costello, Alan Light, Toure, ?uestlove, Dave Matthews, and more and is narrated by Forest Whitaker. For those of you in NYC, the movie is being screened on Friday the 29th @ Ashford and Simpsons, 254 W. 72nd. I’m not in NYC and won’t be at the screening, so let me know how it goes.
