Check out this new trailer for the upcoming indie music documentary, American Mileage. An internet sensation from the UK, nomadic busker Cam Cole takes his viral one-man band show across the Atlantic for his first ever tour of the United States. Traveling by himself in a shabby RV, Cam ventures South to explore the roots of the music that shaped him while searching for the next chapter of his musical journey.
Determined to make a living as a musician, Cam Cole abandoned the traditions of the music industry and built a loyal international fan-base from the ground up. Frustrated by record label bureaucracy, band member conflicts and shady music venues, Cam created a one-man musical show to bring directly to the people. Busking on the busy streets of London, Cam’s high-energy performances have stopped thousands of passersby in their tracks. Videos of those performances have racked up millions of views on the internet. With the support of a global audience, Cam has reached a milestone he’s dreamed about since he was a kid – touring the United States.
Traveling by himself in a shabby RV, Cam takes his no-frills rock show on an unforgettable journey through the American South to explore the roots of the music that shaped him. He explores the studios where his heroes recorded and the landmarks where their sound was born. Along the way he performs with Delta Blues Icons Bobby Rush, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and R.L. Boyce. He returns to the UK with a deeper understanding of not only his musical influences, but also the spirit of the American people he encountered.
American Mileage is directed and edited by Tim Hardiman. Executive produced by James Rodenhouse. Produced by Todd Erikson, Markus Stretz, and Tom E. Marzullo. Cinematography by Ben Sherrill.
Cam Cole’s new documentary American Mileage will be available on VOD May 28, 2024.
