Those influences mixed with his own poignant and timeless lyrics, a unique and striking voice and a mind for melodies led to songs like Little Silver Ring, Feel Us Shaking and Wild River. For many fans, these aren’t new songs or old songs, but anthems to their lives that represent the first time they met their wife or the joys of their times at college. Sean’s journeys across America have taken place in rental cars, tour buses and pickup trucks that would have literally taken him to the moon and back over the last quarter of a century.

Now, ten years later, that experiment has been realized as a surreal, music-packed, 70-minute feature exposing the forbidden love between an artist and the object of his obsession. Along with first-time film roles for the two lead actors (both award-winning stage performers), the movie showcases the people, places and culture of the city of Concord like no film has ever done before. www.ccanh.com or (603)225-1111
