The Folk Singer: A Tale of Men, Music & America

"A journey into the souls of men, maverick roots music, and the dying old America."

Follows folk blues singer Jon Konrad a.k.a. Possessed by Paul James on tour from Texas to Louisiana as he attempts to make enough money to supply for his unborn child. On his journey he crosses paths with musical peers, honky tonk proprietors, and religious mavericks. Together they explore their struggles, doubts, hopes, and demons, or - as Jon's friend Scott Biram puts it - "We can rejoice in one another's sharing of pain!"
