Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted (Previously Unreleased)

Isaac Gale, Ryan Olson, David McMurry
RELEASE Thu 17 Jul

Documentary about legendary musician Swamp Dogg and his friends. For nearly 70 years, the soul, country, and hip-hop singer-songwriter has been doing things his own way, alongside his friends Moogstar and Guitar Shorty. And that swimming pool could use a fresh coat of paint.

Hidden deep in the San Fernando Valley, the legendary Swamp Dogg has turned his home into an artistic playground together with fellow musicians Moogstar and Guitar Shorty. The trio navigates the turbulent waves of the music industry and carves out an inspiring path through time and space.

This documentary paints a colorful and fascinating portrait of the 80-something Swamp Dogg, who began singing at the age of twelve and has had a major influence on soul, bluegrass, hip-hop and country music. His latest album is titled Black Grass: from West Virginia to 125th Street.

Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson’s psychedelic comedy about real people almost didn’t make it to Dutch theaters. Unfairly so, as the film has won several awards including the Grand Jury Prize for Best Music Documentary at the Nashville Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival.
