Join our host Jermaine Wells to watch "Town Band" by Alice Elliott on TVFilm.
At a crossroads in the Catskills, a community has been created by live music. Without the Callicoon Center band’s summer concerts for the past 89 years, the vintage band music they play would be forgotten. On-screen you’ll see people play tunes to forget daily troubles, honor rural pie-making, suppor their spoon-playing band member who falls ill, and teach music to the next generation.
