Title credit: I’ve Been Everywhere, Man is from a song composed by Geoff Mack in 1959.
We elevate our heroes. The gods are in the clouds. Superheroes fly. Marbled idols stand on pedestals. And our cameras aim at musicians where they are at their best—on stage. But how do they get there? And, more importantly—with days dedicated to cramped cars, thin wallets, beat-up motels, loneliness—why do they follow that long and winding road from one venue to the next? I’ve Been Everywhere, Man: Musicians on the Road is an intimate exhibition of the reflections, adventures, humor, and hardships of musicians on tour.
