A mysterious power failure in a small mountain town coincides with the disappearance of one of its most eccentric young residents. Mystery piles upon mystery as his family and friends search for him, fail, and ultimately try to forget about him, an undertaking that results in many unexpected, and in some cases bizarre, effects on the town’s already peculiar community. This winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival features musician Will Oldham as part of an eclectic ensemble cast.

LITTLE FEAT
September 30TH
Little Feat Live in Oneonta, you wont want to miss it!
Join us for an evening with Little Feat who have been preaching the glory of Southern jump for more than 30 years. Fueled by drop-dead funk and the tightest playing around, the band survived what could have been their final curtain: the death of co-founder Lowell George in 1979. But as incredibly gifted as Lowell was, Little Feat was always more than just his backing band. Paul Barrére and Fred Tackett’s guitar work mix tube tone, twang and down home funk like a runaway freight train and Billy Payne’s keyboard playing puts the D in Dixie. Little Feat is introducing its next release, Rams Head Revisited, with a series of free downloads throughout the summer at (www.LittleFeat.com ) in anticipation of the Fall release of the complete album.
Happy hour 5PM-7PM Doors always!
