Music Documentary 'Chasin' Gus' Ghost Announces Winter Screenings

Documentary 'Chasin' Gus' Ghost,' which has screened to sellout crowds at the San Francisco Jug Band Festival and at the Woodstock and Hartford Film Festivals, will make its way this winter from Indiana to Portland, OR, with a stop in Chicago along the way.

Hailed as a "delightful" (DocumentaryFilms.net) film "capable of inspiring a whole new generation of ghost-chasers" (AllAboutJazz.com), 'Chasin' Gus' Ghost' is a documentary on jug band music and the inspiration it has had on Rock and Roll Hall of Famers like John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful) and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead). Full of interviews, live performances and archival video footage, the film is a must-see for music fans.
