Nellie McKay (standing, in red pants) and four other musicians or mere humans pretending to be musicians, in “Downtown Express” a film.

Nellie Mckay and at least four other fellow travelers play street music and concert music, in a film, and perhaps appearing nearby and soon, like in San Jo, maybe or maybe not part of ZERO1, and someday, or in a parallel universe for The International Congress of Buskers of Palo Alto (ICO-BOPA).

I wrote previously about crashing an interview in the lobby of a Hotel in 2009 at SXSW in Austin. I will edita with a better take on this David Grubin film, called “Downtown Express”.

I believe that Philly-based sax player Sabir Mateen also appears in the project, diegetically.

Nellie McKay performs Sunday, Oct. 21 at Montalvo.
