If you’ve recovered from that Springsteen movie and still feel guilty for how much you enjoyed A Complete Unknown, time to refresh your synapses with the golden shower that is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, a hilarious piss-take on the cliches of the rock n roll biopic from the House of Apatow.

In the part he was born to play, John C Reilly is the musical chameleon Cox, whose vertiginous career swings from blues to country, folk and rock and back again.
Come join Local Hillbilly heroes Cousin Harley, for a night of traditional Rockabilly, Western Swing and early Rock n Roll before the viewing!
Cousin Harley is the rocking hillbilly persona of Paul Pigat, an extraordinary guitarist vocalist and songwriter. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, Cousin Harley has a hard-earned reputation for delivering everything from classic honky tonk and cow punk rippers, to a helping of western swing and classic jump blues. Cousin Harley can explode like an active volcano, swing like the Basie Band, and holler like a lonesome hillbilly in the backwoods of Appalachia, all at the same time! Having shared the stage with such legendary artists as Brian Setzer, Jeff Beck, James Burton and, Jakob Dylan, to name a few, Paul has a hard-earned reputation for delivering the goods and never disappointing.
“Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story has a good beat and you can dance to it.” — Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“The film’s ultimate triumph is that it makes audiences genuinely care about a ridiculous rock and roll cartoon who’s Johnny Cash and Ray Charles and Bob Dylan and Glen Campbell and a giant, mentally challenged baby all wrapped up into a big ball of ridiculousness.” — Nathan Rabin, AV Club

The 14 piece Arkestra has been at the forefront of Afrofuturism since its inception and has received Grammy Nominations for its recent albums Lights on a Satellite and Swirling.
