Before The Music Dies tells the story of American
music hanging in the balance.
Is original music drowning in the wake big label marketing?
Will radio ever again be the influential force it once was?
Does the “next big thing” in music even have a chance to
be heard? Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen
traveled the country to uncover how American music arrived
at this moment of truth. The answers they found—and the
promise the future holds—make B4MD both riveting and
exhilarating.
Revealing interviews with musicians, industry insiders,
music writers, and fans shed intense light on the issues.
Featured performances ranging from The Dave Matthews
Band and Erykah Badu to Seattle street performers and
Mississippi gospel singers prove that great music is always
out there—as long as you know where to look. Before The
Music Dies will renew your passion for great music and
inspire you to fight for its future.
