Genre-defying, boundary-pushing, unpretentious, gregarious, quirky — all words that describe The Gourds, an Austin-based alt indie roots band that has been making music for two decades. Comprised of candid conversations, blazing concert scenes, on-tour media interviews and insight from friends and family, the film captures the unbreakable backbeat and creative spark of the group dubbed by the New York Times as the national band of Austin.

Stick around after the screening for the Q&A with director Doug Hawes-Davis and a short acoustic set by members of the The Gourds.
