Lost Rockers
Sound + Vision 2015
July 29 - August 7, 2015
The director of American Hardcore looks at talented eight singer-songwriters from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s who had high-profile producers (like John Lennon) or relationships with stars (like T. Rex), didn’t become famous, but still continue to make music today. Work-in-progress screening plus Q&A with director Paul Rachman, writer-producer Steven Blush, subjects Chris Robison, David Peel, Gass Wylde, and Jake Holmes.

Rex), didn’t become famous, but still continue to make music today. A fantastic mixtape with a lot of heart, Rachman’s film is a long overdue corrective for these significant talents.
