Featuring artists--from Victoria Williams and Eric Burdon to Gram Parsons and Gram Rabbit--who've made the high-desert community of Joshua Tree, CA, their home. The film paints a portrait of life in the desert, far from big music industry, while examining our notions of success and failure.

I
Hear "Joshua Tree" and I think "Gram Parsons" and very little more--but
not after Nowhere Now. The film turned me on to a community making
music mainly for music's sake--mainstream and commercialism be damned.
Now I can see what attracted Parsons and everyone else: a beautiful
locale and artistic freedom.
