to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling
with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through
the extraordinary story of America's greatest unsung recording
studio, Sound City.
"Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the
Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film
about craft, integrity and passion for art. I am over the
moon!"
