A ROCK & SOUL BALLAD
The Ballad of the Lost Dogs of East Nashville tells the story of an unlikely group of musicians who are brought together through the power of music—when something miraculous happens. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing and explosively creative neighborhood—and seen through the eyes of people who have experienced true devastation—we find this unintended troupe bringing a community together across cultural, generational, and ethnic divides. But can some things—even good and true things—get too big for their own good?
Might the mission—individually and collectively understood—of this band of Lost Dogs—be compromised by their own “success”?
