American Interior
Investigative concert tour in which Welsh cult musician Gruff Rhys retraces the journey of his 18th-century relative, the explorer John Evans.
Showing as part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Real North Wales season.
Welsh cult musician Gruff Rhys documents his latest musical road trip, retracing the fantastical American journey of his 18th-century relative, the explorer John Evans.
In search of a lost tribe of Welsh-speaking native Americans, John Evans left Wales for America in 1792 with only $1.75 in his pocket. Alone and without a horse, he walked into the wilderness of the great plains of the Wild West and reappeared seven years later as Don Juan Evans.
American Interior is an investigative concert tour. Fiction, fact, fantasy, myth and music documentary collide as Rhys flies like an eagle and howls like a wolf while following in the footsteps of his (extremely) great uncle.
