Gip background

Gip

The blues music scene in a rural country faces a crisis when one of the few remaining juke joints is suddenly closed in 2013, threatening the very existence of this rich musical heritage.

The last remaining juke joints in the US are dwindling, with the latest one in Alabama being shut down on May 4, 2013. However, Henry "Gip" Gipson, owner of Gip's Place, is determined to keep his blues haven alive, balancing his day job as a gravedigger with his passion for music and drinking.
