The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach Set to Direct Dr. John Documentary

The Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach will make his directorial debut with a documentary on the late Dr. John.. The doc, made with RadicalMedia and Impact Artist Productions, follows Auerbach’s production of the his 2012 album Locked Down.

In a press release, Auerbach said Dr. John “was such a unique individual and a shining example of the great melting pot of American music. From his mysterious voodoo stage persona Dr. John, to his real, humble self Mac Rebannack—the street poet, the family man, the junkie, the Grammy award winner and all that’s in between—this documentary will introduce the world to him in a way they haven’t seen him before. I’m still learning bits about him that I never knew, and I hope the movie provides a lens into the story of the life of Dr. John.”

Wee’ll have more info as it becomes available, but for now revisit a Dr. John classic below!
