Tony Dekker Of Great Lake Swimmers Creates Movie Score For Hot Docs Documentary Film "Song Sung Blue"
Everyone has their favorite NEIL DIAMOND song and apparently so does TONY DEKKER of the Great Lake Swimmers. Dekker wrote an original music score for the powerful and moving documentary, SONG SUNG BLUE. Over 8 years in the making, SSB tells the alternately inspiring and tragic love story of LIGHTNING & THUNDER, a homegrown MILWAUKEE husband & wife singing duo who pay tribute to the music of NEIL DIAMOND. Known for his dreamy and heartfelt vocals, DEKKER wrote and performed over 30 minutes of music for the doc, including an uplifting cover of NEIL DIAMOND'S 1972 chart topping classic, SONG SUNG BLUE for the film's closing credits. "The honesty and emotional warmth of Tony's music provides an intimate texture to the film's 'captured not contrived' style of storytelling" said 10-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker GREG KOHS. SSB is Kohs feature film directorial debut. BLUE is scheduled for its CANADIAN PREMIERE at the HOT DOCS International Film Festival in Toronto this April. A big fan of GREAT LAKE SWIMMER, Kohs approached Dekker regarding the project following a gig in PHILADELPHIA. "I instantly connected with the film's genuine nature. I had not heard of Lightning & Thunder before this, but their story resonated hugely. I love every moment of the film, and am extremely proud to be a part of" said Dekker. SONG SUNG BLUE is a documentary feature film that tells the alternately inspiring and tragic love story of Lightning & Thunder, a homegrown Milwaukee husband and wife singing duo who pay tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. Filmmaker Greg Kohs goes backstage into the personal lives with this brave couple - from their humble beginnings over 20 years ago to the threshold of fame, from disaster to rebirth through to the most dramatic chapters in the lives of these authentic American dreamers. Song Sung Blue is about the uniquely American ability to invent one's self and strive for a seemingly impossible goal. It's about fleeting celebrity and love and about a couple who manages to maintain their passion for the stage and for one another amid the vicissitudes of life. "SONG SUNG BLUE" CANADIAN PREMIERE - 2008 at HOT DOCS International Film Festival April 18 - 9:00 PM at the BLOOR theatre April 20 - 7:15 PM at the ROM theatre
