Watch “Finding The Secret Song”

Relocated from New York City, untethered from his globe-trotting day job at a major tech company, and approaching a certain age and suffering from anxiety and depression, singer/songwriter Benjamin Wagner initiates a road trip to write and record his groundbreaking tenth album, Constellations.

Somewhere between Nashville and Muscle Shoals, a waitress from Texas, tailor from Mexico, and pop icon from Tupelo reveal their secrets, and inspire a path towards recovery.

“Finding The Secret Song” is a prequel of sorts to my forthcoming “Friends & Neighbors” feature, which Ish has been DP’ing, and for which we continue to fundraise.

The 22-minute documentary was directed by Ismail Abdus-Salaam. The 44-minute audio-only, extended interview was edited by Peter LoPinto.
