America tells its stories through song. Consolation to the lovelorn, courage to the oppressed, warning to the naive, or a ticket to the Promised Land, a great song can deliver the wisdom of ages directly to our souls. WE ARE THE MUSIC MAKERS presents portraits of artists: fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts, daughters and sons, grandparents and neighbors, who continue to lovingly stir the South's musical stew and feed American culture. You probably won't recognize their names or faces, for few have found fame. Most of them weren't easy to find. Tim Duffy shares these intimate photographs in hopes that you will look more closely at the unrecognized greatness that surrounds us all.
