About this project
In the fall of 2008, Portland, Oregon based singer-songwriters, Catherine Feeny and Sebastian Rogers (aka The Challenge of Feral Green) took off on a 2 month long, 15,000 mile journey across the United States playing their music in the living rooms of fans, friends and strangers they met along the way.
The idea was simply to bring live music back to where it had begun... in the home. Using the internet to book their tour (sometimes the night before), the film follows these two artists as they experience the highs and lows of being on the road from playing for a packed room to an intimate show for a family of six, from recording in Sun Studio where Elvis made his name, to blown tires, traffic jams, and canceled gigs....all that makes a no-budget tour a true adventure.
Both artists having once been affiliated with major labels (EMI and Dreamworks), this film also explores the state of the music industry today, and looks to where it began and where it's going now.
