It is about female writers in Nashville and features, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Pam Tillis, Mary Gauthier, Chely Wright, Kye Fleming, Jess Leary, Dianne Davidson, Bonnie Baker, Ruthie Foster, Pam Rose, Mary Ann Kennedy, Cheryl Wheeler, Virginia Team, Rodney Crowell, Gretchen Peters, Cidny Bullens (formerly Cindy Bullens), Jessie Scott, Robert Oermann, Mary Bufwack amongst otehrs.

We are excited to have a slot between these two great films and would love to meet anyone there!

Please help get the word out to anyone in the Oxford, Tupelo, and Memphis area. If we can fill seats for OxFilm it will help our chances at bigger festivals.

I'll attach a link which has a short trailer for the documentary.

Best of luck at the festival; hopefully, it will play in the New York area soon. Will it be available to purchase
either as a DVD or a download?

Oh man, I wish I was in the area to see it! Those all sound interesting!

I’ll try to make it Saturday, thanks for the info and work your doing.

Excellent news Nathan! Congrats

I would like to mention here that the guy playing guitar in the trailer is a fellow by the name of Roger Miller from Cedar Falls Iowa. Roger is also one heck of a steel guitar player. Also the brains behind this documentary, Nathan and Kelsey were participants in a program that I was involved in the origin of called The Jump Start Academy. It was started by Dale Theimessen, Lefty Schrage, and I during the early days of the Northeast Iowa Steel Guitar Show. It involved picking students and giving them a guitar, amp, seat, and learning materials for a year to see if they really wanted to play. Nathan and Kelsey are past students. Also a fellow by the name on Philip Sterk who one day when I turned on the Today Show there he was playing for Midland. It still goes on.

"One of the best instruments for delivering emotion"
Jerry Byrd called the steel "the most emotive instrument". He also called pedal players "pedal pushers".
Nice to see Mike Daley getting some face time.
Looking forward to the release.
