02•01•12 Surfer, Songwriter, Soul Man: Eric Lindell
Every year at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Eric Lindell has the blues tent packed out and spilling over with people dancing-it’s insane… you can feel the soul of his tunes seep into your bones. I had him play for my 40th birthday in September and he blew the minds of all in attendance… we still have people wanting more of him…
We concepted a studio/lifestyle piece last fall and have been trying to coordinate our schedules ever since. We finally carved out 4 days in New Orleans while he was recording his latest album (to be released at Jazzfest) and captured some city soul, insane studio footage and acoustic interviews, not to mention the “Blue Goose” which is his custom touring bus with cyprus wood floors, bunks and cool design. All we need now is to catch him on his surfboard- the other love of his life…
We are editing through film and piecing it all together- the goal is to have it for his album launch at Jazz Fest.
See you there.
