- Synopsis:
In the early 1960's the folk music revival had a strong impact on bluegrass music across the country including San Diego, California, where a group of young men from different backgrounds gathered to make this traditional music. When you mention bluegrass music most people think of the mountains of Appalachia, not palm trees and beaches. San Diego is home of The Scottsville Squirrel Barkers, which included Chris Hillman (The Byrds), Bernie Leadon (Eagles), Kenny Wertz (Country Gazette) and Larry Murray (The Johnny Cash Show), Deering Banjos, the largest banjo company in North America and Nickel Creek (Chris Thile, Sean Sara Watkins). This film tells the rich history of the great musicians who helped form the alliance and bonds for future generations of bluegrass.
