About this project

The Happy Maladies' Music Video Debut. Acoustic folk experimental, Tesla approved.

"Add another winner to our impressive Americana/Roots scene. The Happy Maladies' acoustic-based Folk tunes bob and weave in unpredictable fashion: muscular, fierce even, one minute, haunting and ethereal the next. All five members are CCM [Cincinnati Conservatory of Music] trained, a fact both obvious (strong chops) and somewhat surprising (they don't hesitate to stray from the academic playbook)." -CityBeat

While traveling to a show, Abby is delayed and must overcome surreal obstacles, including stop motion mannequin security guards, to be reunited with her band mates in a newsprint metropolis.

We need funds for production design, feeding our volunteer crew, studio space and equipment rental!
