Join us as Smoky Mountain Radio presents the East Tennessee premiere of this documentary, including live music, comments from the filmmaker, and the first exhibition of subject Wade Hill’s remarkable autobiographical collage and album art.

Forty years past his peak as a teenage banjo prodigy, musical journeyman Wade Hill returns to his family home in Tennessee to reckon with the death of loved ones and his own failing health, with only months to go before the bank lays claims on this last place that knows him well. Ten years in the making, this award-winning documentary presents the eccentric life and extraordinary career of East Tennessee bluegrass legend Wade Hill in its most intimate and precarious moments. Wade’s story is revealed in candid interviews and raw scenes, as well as through unearthed, unvarnished archival photography and sound.
