The Folk Singer - A Tale of Men, Music & America is a journey into the souls of men, maverick roots music and the dying old America. The film follows folk blues singer Jon Konrad a.k.a. Possessed by Paul James on tour from Texas to Louisiana as he attempts to make enough money to supply for his unborn child. On his journey he crosses paths with musical peers, honky tonk propietors and religious mavericks. Together they explore their struggles, doubts, hopes and demons or as Jon's friend Scott Biram puts it: „We can rejoice in one another's sharing of pain!“ The Folk Singer juxtaposes raw human emotion, slapstick humour and wild American roots Music.
