Backed by his acoustic ensemble “The Healers,” singer songwriter Holcombe Waller presents a theatrical performance of his original folk songs. Weaving lyrics, monologues, and film to hold a potent mirror to his generation in a time of war, religious and social polarization, and environmental demise. Rummaging through the personal histories behind his songs, he traces an elusive but vital sense of hope and renewal.
