Season one brings artist such as John Jorgenson (Elton John, Sting, Bob Dylan’s guitarist) and John McEuen, a founding member of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, to Danville. Each episode is filmed in a unique location in the city, including historical homes, a historically renovated hotel, a gas station, and a quaint bookstore.
