Releasing on September 26th from Samuel Goldwyn Films and City on A Hill Studio, The Song takes a look into the life of a world-weary recording artist searching for meaning of love.
Inspired by Song of Solomon (known for its poetic language about love and lovers), The Song features 11 original songs with an American Roots flavor.
The film follows aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King (Alan Powell of Anthem Lights) as he struggles to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his father, a country music legend.
After reluctantly accepting a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival, Jed is love-struck by the vineyard owner’s daughter, Rose (Ali Faulkner, Twilight: Breaking Dawn), and a romance quickly blooms.
Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose “The Song,” which becomes a breakout hit. Thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation in the form of fellow performer Shelby Bale (Caitlin Nicol-Thomas, “Nashville”), Jed’s life and marriage begin to fall apart.
“The Song has the potential to resonate with anyone, regardless of their beliefs or background. I think movie-goers will appreciate this film as a stand-alone music-driven drama that plays as a cautionary love story and not a cinematic sermon,” says writer and director Richard Ramsey.
The Song soundtrack will release on September 16th featuring 11 original songs and three covers of hits, with contributions from artists including Ricky Skaggs.
In the months leading up to the release of The Song, Powell and Nicol-Thomas will reprise their roles as Jed King and Shelby Bale, making appearances at several music festivals across the country.
