Louie Bluie

Aroview: The feature debut of director Terry Zwigoff (CRUMB) explores the life and music of William Howard Taft Armstrong, (known as Louie Bluie), a blues musician and visual artist.

Known throughout the 30's and 40's for his incredible talents as a string musician, Louie Bluie was a member of the last known African American old-time string band in America. He reminiscences about his life with fellow musicians, while punctuating his stories with spontaneously created hand drawings. A valuable portrait of an extraordinary and obscure artist.
