Family Jams featuring Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Vetiver DVD

THE FAMILY JAMS  featuring Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Vetiver,  + more DVD and 52-Page Book coming April 21st via Factory 25  An evocative portrait of youthful possibility, THE FAMILY JAMS follows these artists as they tour the USA in 2004 playing their music for a growing audience. "Family Jams may not ever attain the stature of, say, a concert film like D. A. Pennebaker's Don't Look Back. But it should, as a record of musicians in youthful flower,  sharing a loose, heartfelt camaraderie and lack of pretension. " - Andy Webster, Critics Pick: New York Times "A curiously effective musical docu that captures the raw dynamics of collective creativity... JAMS affords the opportunity to hang with gifted, genre-defying fringe artists  at a pivotal point in their evolving careers." - Steve Dollar, The Wall Street Journal
