LO FI

If you''re looking for Alison Hunter, you can catch her most nights at The Venue, a Nashville club hosting acts from Bon Iver to Death Cab. Sounds glamorous - but not for Al, who''s working the door with a boy with mysterious eyes, bumming drinks and worse from the tattooed bartender, and wondering if she''ll ever make it as a songwriter. One night, as a storm floods the city, her fly-by-night touring-band boyfriend washes into town, and Al is reminded of all the reasons she should drop him... and all the things that keep her hanging on. As her girlfriends urge her to forget a shattering open mic fiasco, Al tries to power through her hungover mornings and pull even one song worth a damn out of her guitar. Torn between dreams and despair, she becomes obsessed with the disappearance of a troubled indie star, and slowly starts to lose it herself - until one reckless night threatens to derail her altogether. As propulsive and sexy as the rasp of an overdriven amp, Lo Fi is an open-hearted love song to the messy truth of the creative life, the clash of lust and love, and our shared yearning to be heard.
