By 1967, the stage had been set for Greenwich Village folk musician Eric Andersen to be catapulted to international fame, rising above his contemporaries of the time. But the death of his newly acquired manager, famed Beatles impresario Brian Epstein, turned his career upside down. Five years later, he found himself again on the brink of commercial success only to suffer another devastating blow that threw his future into uncertainty.
The film is directed by Paul Lamont and uses the music of Eric Andersen. THE SONG POET features Clive Davis, Lenny Kaye, Tom Paxton, John Sebastian and Anthony DeCurtis.
