ACTOR AND CO-PRODUCER ADRIAN GRENIER JOINS THE GOOD LISTENERS, CLARK STILES AND NATHAN KHYBER IN A Q&A SESSION AND LIVE PERFORMANCE
LOS ANGELES, June 15 /PRNewswire/ --
WHO: Adrian Grenier joins L.A.-based indie rock duo The Good
Listeners, featuring Clark Stiles and Nathan Khyber at the
Los Angeles premiere of their documentary, Don't Quit Your
Daydream.
WHAT: Don't Quit Your Daydream made its festival debut at the 2010
Nashville Film Festival where The Good Listeners were
awarded the Special Jury Prize. With each view, the film
continues to gain momentum and connect with fellow
musicians, critics and music fans nationwide.
Don't Quit Your Daydream is the story of two musicians, both
approaching 40, unwilling to give up their dream of becoming
rock stars. The duo set off to accomplish what many rendered
impossible - record an entire album on the road with
complete strangers while documenting each encounter. Leaving
their day jobs behind, they embarked on a 24-day cross-
country road trip to record and film both the album and
documentary, Don't Quit Your Daydream. While visiting 12
cities across America, they recorded their music with local
musicians including Bingo Richey in Joshua Tree, CA, Bugs
Salcido on an art ranch in Marfa, TX. Adrian Grenier also
joined them and performed at a barn in Lexington, KY.
The film takes viewers on an inspirational journey of self-
discovery as they collaborate with an offbeat cast of
strangers who force them to reconsider what it means to live
a life dedicated to the art of music.
Don't Quit Your Daydream was produced in association with
J. Loar, Inc. and Adrian Grenier's Reckless Productions.

The duo thrives in to unconventional working methods and remote recording locations, having completed their 2005 debut album, Ojai, after recording an impressive 10 songs in 10 days in a makeshift home recording studio. In a setting reminiscent of the movie, "The Shining," their 2007 album, Crane Point Lodge, was recorded in a 14-room country lodge nestled deep in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The Good Listeners additional projects include branching into musical scoring and a contribution of their song, "Time Will Tell" to the 2006 movie, "The Devil Wears Prada."
