Being A Musician In Today’s World

This insightful documentary follows the creative process of writing material, collaborating with fellow musicians (in one of Canada’s most famous recording studios) and finally performing the material in front of an enthusiastic audience. What a pleasure to spend a few days in the studio with Organic Funk – appreciating first hand their playing arrangements and material. And getting to know this up-and-coming, hard working dedicated band with a great attitude.
