More Than Just a Venue

Troubadour hosted a musical revolution; now a documentary tells its story

By Dustin Sussman | March 17th, 2011

I’ve taken in bands at almost every spot the town has to offer and can honestly say that Doug Weston’s pint-size club is the best of the bunch. Maybe that’s why the new documentary, Troubadours: The Rise of The Singer-Songwriter, directed by Morgan Neville is so mesmerizing.
