VERMONT PREMIERE
Hubris, anger, prejudice, and a blend of doo-wop, reggae, and rock define Garland Jeffreys’ fifty-year career. This documentary explores why his name evokes either obscurity or reverence. Featuring insights from Laurie Anderson, Harvey Keitel, Bruce Springsteen and others, the film delves into Jeffreys’ transformative journey through the music industry’s highs and lows. Critics contextualize his artistry, while Jeffreys and his wife provide candid reflections. A poignant tale ends with Jeffreys finding contentment, despite never achieving widespread fame.
