An unsung pioneer of 1970s Texas Progressive Country music, Steven Fromholz had a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Revered by legends like Willie Nelson, John Denver and Lyle Lovett, he remained commercially unknown. 
He sought redemption on the Rio Grande as a river guide until a debilitating stroke erased his musical memory, stripping Fromholz of his artistic identity.
With newly discovered recordings, this impressionistic portrayal reshapes the notion of success and artistic fortitude.

Experience the unraveling of fame's illusions as 1970’s Texas singer-songwriter Steven Fromholz embarks on a soul-stirring journey of self-discovery and the true meaning of success.
