Necessity is the mother of invention. Less is more. Make it work with what you’ve got. Two guitars, a junkyard drum kit, a handful of harmonicas, voices and above all…songs.
This film captures the tours and detours of a husband and wife as they create and release the critically acclaimed album O’ Be Joyful. From working for tips to becoming the “Emerging Artist of the Year,” the two-person family band uses ingenuity and hard work to create something out of nothing.
