How a chosen few brought the high lonesome sound to Southern California

When you mention bluegrass music most people think of the mountains of Appalachia, not palm trees and beaches. San Diego is home of The Scottsville Squirrel Barkers, which included Chris Hillman (The Byrds), Bernie Leadon (The Eagles), Kenny Wertz (The Flying Burrito Bros., Country Gazette) and Larry Murray (Hearts & Flowers, The Johnny Cash Show), Grammy winning artist Nickel Creek (Chris Thile, Sean & Sara Watkins), plus Deering Banjos, the largest banjo company in North America. This film tells the rich history of the great musicians who helped form the alliance and bonds for future generations of bluegrass.
