New Trailer Coming Soon

The new trailer is almost finished and will replace the teaser soon. Keep checking back. I should have it up before Thanksgiving. Here is the first one for the time being. Thanks

Best Weekend Ever! (Back from Pomonkey)

Roy C's 50th Anniversary of live performances was probably the best party I have ever been to. Donnie Ray put it down, Lee Fields put it down, and I don't have to tell you that Roy C. put it down!.... Twice! Ryan Walker took off on this journey with me to run a camera. We flew into Baltimore and drove to Pomonkey, MD. The next day was the big show. There was a crowd of more then 2000 people of all ages at Lamont's to pay tribute to the legend Roy C. The fans of Roy C. are the most dedicated fans I have ever seen. Most of them have been fans of Roy's for over 20 years and love ALL of his songs. Roy played a 1 hour set outside and then a 50 minute set inside Lamont's club. It was a scene man! That place was packed son! We had the best time drinking with all the fans after the show and I'm sure I still owe a few of you drinks. Thank you for the best time of my life.

On the Road Again

I am getting ready to take off this Friday to film Roy C. performing live in Pomonkey, Maryland. There is rumor that Don Covay will be there and if that is true, I just don't know what to do with my self. This show is a tribute to Roy C. for playing live music for 50 years. You can get ticktes at Ticketmaseter if you type in "Roy C. and Friends". The venue is called Lamont's and is located at 4400 Livingston Drive in Pomonkey MD. See you there.

Meet The Crew

From Left to Right. Jesse Cihouski (Camera Operator), Chase Thompson (Director), Corey Woodward (Grip and Badass), and the legend himself, Roy C. Hammond (The Man).
We visited Roy late June 2007 for 2 days. We learned a lot about Roy, how he has supported himself through his music for over 50 years, the benefits of Cod Liver Oil and more. Red Kelly (a true Soul Detective) was kind enough to visit us as we stayed in Allendale's Executive Inn. I heard some amazing soul music from him. Be sure to visit his blog http://www.souldetective.blogspot.com. Also be sure to listen to some of the J.Hines tunes he has on there. He played guitar on a lot of Roy's albums. J. Hines deserves a film about himself just the same. But for now we will focus on Roy C. Keep checking back for more information on the film.

Return from Allendale

We just returned from Allendale SC. Our mission.... return with footage of Roy C. Hammond. Mission Accomplished! We stayed at the Executive Inn in Allendale and hung out with Roy for two days at his store (Carolina Record Distribution) and at his home. It was the best time I ever had. The people of Allendale were so kind and served us up a fat portion of Southern hospitality. I will begin editing asap and hope to have "Roy C. Forever" finished by November. Keep checking back on this blog for updates on production, video, pictures, and information on the film.
