Before the Music Dies

This documentary is about the experience of American music at this precarious moment, how real music is being smothered, silenced and ‘industry-fed’ music is being forced down our throats. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, interviewing some of the most respected musicians today, from all genres, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. This documentary is a must for anyone who loves REAL music!
