Minneapolis’ West Bank neighborhood was once an epicenter of the music world. From the early 1960s, this perennial immigrant landing strip proved an irresistible draw for artists from far and wide, an ever-evolving cauldron of creativity and cultures. This film is a funky flashback, bursting at the seams with musical memories, all visualized with rare and rich archival photography, footage, and artistic ephemera. From household names to forgotten favorites, The Wild West Bank Sound comes alive in this multi-sensory trip through time.
