WHO: |
Adrian Grenier joins L.A.-based indie rock duo The Good Listeners, featuring Clark Stiles and Nathan Khyber at the Los Angeles premiere of their documentary, Don't Quit Your Daydream. |
||
WHAT: |
Don't Quit Your Daydream made its festival debut at the 2010 Nashville Film Festival where The Good Listeners were awarded the Special Jury Prize. With each view, the film continues to gain momentum and connect with fellow musicians, critics and music fans nationwide. |
||
Don't Quit Your Daydream is the story of two musicians, both approaching 40, unwilling to give up their dream of becoming rock stars. The duo set off to accomplish what many rendered impossible – record an entire album on the road with complete strangers while documenting each encounter. Leaving their day jobs behind, they embarked on a 24-day cross-country road trip to record and film both the album and documentary, Don't Quit Your Daydream. While visiting 12 cities across America, they recorded their music with local musicians including Bingo Richey in Joshua Tree, CA, Bugs Salcido on an art ranch in Marfa, TX. Adrian Grenier also joined them and performed at a barn in Lexington, KY. |
|||
The film takes viewers on an inspirational journey of self-discovery as they collaborate with an offbeat cast of strangers who force them to reconsider what it means to live a life dedicated to the art of music. |
|||
Don't Quit Your Daydream was produced in association with J. Loar, Inc. and Adrian Grenier's Reckless Productions. |

The duo thrives in to unconventional working methods and remote recording locations, having completed their 2005 debut album, Ojai, after recording an impressive 10 songs in 10 days in a makeshift home recording studio. In a setting reminiscent of the movie, "The Shining," their 2007 album, Crane Point Lodge, was recorded in a 14-room country lodge nestled deep in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The Good Listeners additional projects include branching into musical scoring and a contribution of their song, "Time Will Tell" to the 2006 movie, "The Devil Wears Prada."
