A warmly affectionate mockumentary about aging folk musicians reuniting to honor a departed friend, balancing gentle satire with genuine affection for its characters.

Three eclectic, never-quite-famous folk bands come together for the first time in decades following the death of their manager to put on an reunion concert in his honor, at the request of his son.
