Fanning the Fire is a vibrant documentary short that
features a young Texas teen who followed his dreams from being a fan of
bluegrass music all the way to opening for some of the greatest
entertainers in the business - in less than three years. Along the way,
the documentary explores why people young and old get hooked on playing
this music and enjoying companionship at festivals around the world.
Viewers enjoy behind-the-scenes visits with master musicians from across
the USA and Europe who explain how they came to appreciate this
uniquely American form of music and why it has broad appeal to beginning
players and professionals alike. Fanning the Fire is a fast-moving
look at where bluegrass music has been and where it's going.
