Great Music – Arthur Dodge

I’ve been asked; “Nik, who did the song in the Lovely, Still Trailer.” Which I answer “It’s not a trailer, it’s a promo and… That’s Arthur Dodge – He’s this incredible singer/songwriter from Lawrence.”
Arthur Dodge is rad, man – His voice has such a great feeling. It’s very classic, which is refreshing in indie music today, and he writes a million songs a year. Truly prolific – notebooks and notebooks I hear. I saw him play in an empty bar in Kansas City once. All the drunks in the room suddenly became silent and all energy was focused on this man sitting by himself playing guitar and smoking cigarettes. It was incredible! After the show I got his phone number and told him I wanted him to do music for my film.
He ended up doing two songs for Lovely, Still that will be on the soundtrack. A cover of “I’ll be Home for Christmas” and the song which is in the Berlin Promo – “Check Out Line” – They will both be on the soundtrack.
