Anchored from the perspective of the 2008 tour, this feature-length documentary will recount the history of the venue, the history of tour and the relationships of the artists involved. The story unfolds from these multiple perspectives and shows how an intimate room, unlike any other, without even a liquor license, went on to stage international tours and create global recognition.

That so much musical talent is concentrated in a few hundred square feet in Hollywood bears exploration, and with unprecedented access to the tours from 2005 to 2008, this film is an examination of the friendships and fame formed within its walls, and how these intricate relationships translate out onto the road.

Singer/songwriter Cary Brothers, who once described the Hotel Caf as his living room, feels the combination of friendship and musical collaboration is an integral component to the success of the tour, and he works tirelessly to recreate this mood on the road. The degrees of success each artist has experienced vary, from Grammy-winning heights to never having been on the tour bus before. On the tour, each show is
a great equalizer: there is no headliner and no hierarchy, and the experience forces musicians to share not only their living space, but also the stage and their support band as well. The result is a type of chaotic magic, entices artists to line up side-stage to watch their bunkmates perform, invites collaboration, and creates versions of songs that could never be captured again unfurling before an enraptured audience and recorded only in our film. Some of the musicians that will be included in the film are Gary Jules, Cary Brothers, Greg Laswell, Imogen Heap, Jim Bianco, Butch Walker, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Joshua Radin, Dan Wilson, Meiko, Jessie Baylin, William Fitzsimmons, Rachael Yamagata, and Tom McRae.

Using verit,interviews, performance footage, and photography, SING celebrates the venue, the tour and the artists. From the post-show highs to the realities of being a working musician, well follow the artists across the nation as musical and personal relationships grow. While every artists story is unique, one thing underlines each: this room gave me my career.
