NEWS! Strung Together: Cigar Box Guitar Documentary debuts this weekend!
Structure is a huge part of music. But as one source in Jon Miller's new music documentary proclaims, "There is no rules to this, so there is no structure."
He's not talking about the music itself. He's talking about a funky, creative, sometimes jaw-dropping class of homemade instruments used to create it. Miller, a Mobile-area musician and filmmaker, is on the verge of releasing "Strung Together," a film about "cigar box guitars, their makers, and the musicians that play them."
"Strung Together" gets a screening at 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, at the Crescent Theater, 208 Dauphin St. in Mobile AL. Tickets are $10. Afterward, the filmmaker will appear for a brief Q&A session.
