Train Keeps A Rolling: The Jeff Golub Film Debut To Benefit Cure PSP Event During his illustrious career, JEFF GOLUB was Rod Stewart's front man, he played with Billy Squier and other legends, and recorded 11 solo albums, plus three more as the leader of Avenue Blue. Inspired by B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck, among others, Jeff began playing guitar when he was 12. Playing rock, blues, and jazz guitar, Jeff became a world renowned performer, playing in stadiums, concert halls, and clubs around the world. Jeff, his wife Audrey, and their two young sons were living a near-perfect life when Jeff suddenly lost his sight at the age of 56. What at first seemed a surmountable hurdle soon evolved into a much larger problem, as it became clear that he had also developed a rare neurological disorder, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Through years of archival and verité footage, as well as interviews with celebrated musicians and a score composed and performed by Jeff’s former friends and colleagues, this intimate portrait provides an in-depth account of Jeff’s final years. It tells of the immense burden his wife was forced to undertake, the strain Jeff’s illness caused with his family and friends, and the story of his impressive musical legacy. It is a universal story of the hardships of terminal illness, told through the lens of one of the jazz community’s most beloved musicians. |
