Big Easy Express

 
Nashville, TN – March 27, 2012:  The Americana Music Association is proud to present the closing night screening of Big Easy Express at the 2012 Nashville Film Festival (NaFF) presented by Nissan, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. at the Regal Green Hills Cinema.
Directed by Emmett Malloy, Big Easy Express captures the incredible musical journey of  three bands on one train over thousands of miles of track through six cities. Harkening back to the days of jubilant railroad revivals, of steam and steel, three bands — L.A.‘s Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Nashville’s Old Crow Medicine Show, and Londoners Mumford & Sons — climbed aboard a train in April 2011 amid the massive rail yards of Oakland and set out for New Orleans on a “tour of dreams.” Stopping along the way to play sold-out shows in spots as diverse as San Pedro, California, and Marfa, Texas, the film documents the bands’ vibrant railway adventures; the high canyons, joyous crowds, blasted skies, late-night laughter, endless music … and a train that was bound for glory.
