-For every musical performer that basks in the global spotlight,
scores of others with comparable talent carry on in local obscurity. This
film explores the lives of two such artists, both driven by a powerful inner
compass and unshakable conviction as they play on brilliantly at the far edge
of the national music scene.
Portland guitarists and bandleaders Jim Mesi
and Steve Bradley both became legends in the Portland music scene in the
1970s. Mesi, who toured with BB King, cemented his position as a world-class
blues player while Bradley became an anchor in the local club scene with his
quirky songwriting, singular guitar style and inventive rock and roll bands.
Ouellette, a guitarist himself, affectionately celebrates the lives of these
two journeymen performers as they rock night after night, on across the tides
of pop music trends and the siren call of fame and fortune.
