Conjure the spirit of indie-rock icon Jason Molina (1973-2013) with Ohio insiders who illuminate the truth about his coming of age on Lake Erie, escaping artless steel town indifference, and manifesting the legendary band, Songs: Ohia, as they celebrate contradictions that tether Jason’s raunchy humour, propensity to lie, refusal to interpret lyrics, and untimely death into a haunting legacy unconfined by the record vault.
