A two-part documentary series, Laurel Canyon, is set to premiere on EPIX. The film, according to a press release, “will pull back the curtain on a mythical world and provide an up-close look at the lives of the musicians who inhabited it. Through rare and newly unearthed footage and audio recordings, the documentary will feature an intimate portrait of the artists who created a music revolution of the ’60s and ’70s that would change popular culture.” Alison Ellwood (History of the Eagles) directed it. Part one will premiere May 29 at 10 p.m. on EPIX. Part two airs one week later, on June 7.
Among the artists who will be featured in all-new, original interviews are Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Linda Ronstadt, Michelle Phillips, Graham Nash, and more. The documentary also offers “intimate portraits” of such legends as Joni Mitchell, Eagles, the Mamas and the Papas, Carole King, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, James Taylor, the Doors, Frank Zappa and more. Says the press release, “The film will be uniquely immersive and experiential, taking us back in time to a place where a rustic canyon in the heart of Los Angeles became a musical petri dish.”
“We were at the very center of this bubble of creativity and friendship,” says Nash.
The series, originally announced for 2019, is not associated with 2019’s documentary Echo in the Canyon, which explored the same, fertile ’60s music scene.
“Having personally lived through this musical period of time, I’m incredibly excited to be involved in telling this story, especially given the amazing team we’ve assembled to make what we intend to be the definitive documentary on the Laurel Canyon scene,” said executive producer Frank Marshall.
