  • Bay Area Concerts

    We filmed at Freight and Salvage in Berkeley where we caught two shows. Mya Byrne and Swan Real, who are real life lovers and leaders for the presence of queer trans women in country and Americana, opened the show. Lizzie No gave a breath-taking performance proving her expertise as a singer-songwriter in indie folk music. Lizzie No is a rising star that this documentary will follow as she completes the last leg of her West Coast tour.

Here’s the rub … since I’m shooting a documentary movie that focuses on women in music, that’s what’s on my mind all the time. We sat there for two hours without hearing a single song that had been recorded by a woman. It wasn’t until I requested a song by a woman that they actually played one.

  • Shooting in Nashville

    We had an amazing week in Nashville interviewing for the documentary, “She Sang, and that Made the Difference.” Many thanks to Wood Newton who granted us access to the “magic room” in the historic RCA building on Music Row. The “magic room” was once the office of legendary guitarist Chet Atkins.
