Magic Music is one of the most fondly remembered bands of the Boulder Revolution. Living in a makeshift camp up in the mountains, they would delight local residents and university students with their original songs, acoustic instruments, and light harmonies; their growing popularity brought them to the brink of success more than once. Unfortunately, they never signed a record deal and eventually broke up in 1975. Four decades later, one of their greatest fans, Boulder alumnus and acclaimed director Lee Aronsohn, tracked down the original Magic Music members. Making a dream come true for himself, fellow fans, and the band, he brings them together—in Boulder—for a sold out reunion concert that finally preserves Magic Music for posterity.

This film just gets better & better with every viewing! It encapsulates the joy & tragedy of youth's human condition- story telling the maturing of raw talent with the growing pains experienced along the way- whether you are a musician or not. Magic Music, The Movie, is a roller coaster of surprises & feel good emotions. Musically, it's a delight (use your sound bar) and I think has the Potential to be the next reality based "Rocky Horror Picture Show" of it's time.

Awesome! Cool insight to an era!
