Their roster of hit songs is unmatched in the recording industry and includes some of pop music’s most timeless and recognizable songs. They are The Wrecking Crew, a group of professional session musicians and the unsung heroes who provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging melody that drove the number one hits of artists as varied as Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, The Monkees, The Byrds, The Carpenters and Cher. Produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of legendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco, The Wrecking Crew is the story of how these dedicated musicians brought the flair and musicianship that made the American “west coast sound” a dominant cultural force around the world. It is a fun and moving tribute from Denny to his father, the music, the times and the secret star-making machine known only as The Wrecking Crew.

Shown in Partnership with the Barrie Jazz and Blues Festival.
