FAMILY MEETING tells a unique story about people behind music. The film was shot during
the fall 2006, in and around the 20th anniversary concert of the Wentus Blues Band, also
on their home turf in Ostrobotnia, Finland. It's a delicious mash-up of backstage life
and passionate stage performances.
The film features an impressive line-up of rock and blues legends, such as Eddie Kirkland
and Louisiana Red, ex-Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, Kim Wilson from the Fabulous
Thunderbirds, Omar Dykes from Omar & The Howlers, Barrence Whitfield - lead singer of The
Savages, Sven Zetterberg and Clas Yngström from Sweden, Eric Bibb, plus Lazy Lester from
the States, deep south.
All of the above-mentioned guests have a long history with the Wentus Blues Band. The
film is about the family meeting of these musicians, where joy, tolerance, and above all
the immortal, shared moments within the Rock and Blues are intertwined.
The audience will feel like standing on the stage same time with these great musicians.
