ECHO IN THE CANYON revisits the most influential music of the mid-60’s – from The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mamas and the Papas – and how these iconic bands that were all influenced by the Beatles then went on… to actually influence the Beatles. It was a moment in Laurel Canyon when being part of a great band was the most significant thing you could do as an artist, that pure moment before everyone went solo in the 70’s. The canyon jammed with unparalleled creativity and collaboration inspiring these neighbors to create some of the most influential music in history. Directed by Andrew Slater, the film features conversations between Bob Dylan’s son, Jakob, and 60s luminaries like Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr, and Crosby, Stills and Nash. The film also features one of the final interviews of the late Tom Petty. With Lou Adler, Fiona Apple, Jackson Browne, Beck, Eric Clapton, Norah Jones, Cat Power, Regina Spektor, and more.
