LOS ANGLES (CelebrityAccess) — Echo In The Canyon, a new documentary film that explores the origins of the music scene around LA’s Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s, will hit theaters in a limited release, starting on May 24th.
The film, which was Directed by former music journalist, record producer and label executive Andrew Slater, features Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan while he uncovers never-before-heard personal details about songs and artists that emerged from the musical moment in time.
