Interview with Don DiNicola

About the film

Highlights:

Joshua Tree, the high desert community outside Los Angeles, has become a mecca for exciting musical voices.  How the particularities of this place—its history and traditions, its isolation from urban centers, and its unique atmosphere and community—have contributed to this phenomenon is the subject of the film, told with stirring interviews and live performances. Each writer-performer has his or her personal story, but all have had to face the conflict between maintaining their artistic identity and surviving in the industry. 

Shot on the beautiful backdrop of high desert in springtime, the film includes Eric Burdon, Gram Parsons, Victoria Williams, Gram Rabbit, The Sibleys, Ted Quinn, and Emily Adams, among others.
