The Family Jams Film

The Family Jams - Trailer from kevin barker on Vimeo.

Produced by Kevin Barker (Currituck Co., Vetiver), The Family Jams features Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and Vetiver as they tour the country performing their genre-defining music in the summer of 2004. They help each other overcome family tragedies and car accidents, and meet colorful characters, forgotten musical heroes, and folk luminaries as they travel across the country.

The film is an intimate portrait of life on the road for these young musicians early in their careers, playing tiny, obscure clubs and art galleries, but on the verge of larger success where small vans are replaced by large, impersonal tour buses. Here music is a creative, organic, inclusive endeavor. They not only sing about the world in which they want to live, they create it.

I also just heard about a (((Festival in the Forest))) semi-short film being made. There will be a screening of a rough cut at SXSW. So if you are going to be in Texas on the 20th make sure to catch it along with all the great bands playing before the screening such as Entrance, Akron/Family, Fools Gold, and the Phenomenal Handclap Band.



OH YEAH! Forgot to mention. ITS FREEE!!!
