We’re very happy to have a tune from Where You Been So Long, Draggin’ the Bow, included in an online documentary series. It’s produced by the same folks who make the PBS show Roadtrip Nation, and can be seen on their site, RoadtripNation.com.

You can buy a copy of the CD from us, from Amazon, and from CDBaby. You can download it from iTunes.

Here’s the press release for the series:

CULTURAL MOVEMENT PUTS MORE COLLEGE STUDENTS ON THE ROAD TO MEET LEADERS THAT INSPIRE THEM.
Online Series available now at www.roadtripnation.com.

(Costa Mesa, CA) – “So what are you going to do with your life?”

It’s the question that every kid dreads as they head towards adulthood. And it’s often rhetorical – just a chance for the questioner to make suggestions. “You should be a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant.”

The funny thing is, that’s what most people are looking for: someone to tell them what to do. Stepping out the classroom doors, diploma in hand, no longer under the watchful eye of teachers and administrators, ready to conquer the world, all under your own power; That’s when you realize there’s a question living in the back of your head.

“What am I going to do with my life?”

In the summer of 2006, Concordia University students Alex, Michael and Leila left their Montreal home to travel across the U.S. in a huge green RV, interviewing fascinating, successful people along the way in an attempt to figure out what to do with their lives. Along the way, they met with film directors Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow) and Richard Linklater (School of Rock, Dazed and Confused), writer/singer/former gubernatorial candidate Richard “Kinky” Freidman, Gibson Guitars’ Henry Juszkiewcz, Paralympian Jeff Adams, videogame designer Sheri Graner Ray and more.

The Roadtrip Nation Online Series chronicles the trio’s cross country adventures, and is comprised of ten 10-minute episodes that will lead up to the premier of the PBS series on October 1st. Episodes are posted Fridays at www.roadtripnation.com/online.

ROADTRIP NATION began in 2001 when three twenty-something college grads—Mike Marriner, Nathan Gebhard and Brian McAllister—took a detour from the prescribed route in life. Rather than head on to the graduate schools and jobs that were waiting for them, they maxed out their credit cards to buy a 31-foot RV, which they painted day-glo green, and set off on a journey that would change their lives. Their destination? To speak with people who had defined their own roads in life, and who, in the process became both successful and fulfilled.

During their 17,000-mile, three-month odyssey, they met with 82 self-made individuals – from Michael Dell to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor; from Saturday Night Live Director Beth McCarthy Miller to a Maine lobsterman named Manny. The interviewees revealed their secrets for shaking off society’s pressure to conform and explained how they devised their own ways to spend their lives doing what they love.

That initial roadtrip spawned a documentary, the PBS series, three books and an online hub at www.roadtripnation.com. Roadtrip Nation has also partnered with over 300 college career centers to bring the movement to their students. Each fall and spring, the three green RVs traverse the country, making appearances and holding screenings at college campuses to raise awareness about Roadtrip Nation and encourage students to hit the road.

Funding for ROADTRIP NATION is provided by State Farm Insurance.
