The When Nobody's Listening: On the Road with Amy Cook

The creative journey of Austin singer-songwriter Amy Cook and her band as they tour the backwater towns of the American southwest. Powerful and new, the music of Amy Cook is both elegant and challenging in the same breath. Filmmaker Todd Robinson travels the southwest with Amy and her band peering into a life that informs art. But Amy Cook's story is a story that transcends her own career and ambition. It is the story of a young woman living an authentic life while struggling with the complicated relationship between art and commerce. As Amy says in her hypnotic "Feathers to a Crown" . It's a hard time for dreamers, We're all pennies in a wishing well, But we ain't gonna buy, And we ain't gonna sell.
