Bayleen y, en ese momento, nacen una estrella y una apasionada historia
de amor. De gira con Jesse Reid, el músico cuyos infames ojos azules han

ENGLISH DESCRITPION
A transporting love story of music, stardom, heartbreak, and a gifted
young singer-songwriter who must find her own voice: "In the vein of
Daisy Jones and the Six and The Final Revival of Opal and Nev,
[this] is an intoxicating chronicle of the music industry, inspired
largely by the love affair between artists Joni Mitchell and James
Taylor" (Elle).
The year is 1969, and the Bayleen Island Folk Fest is abuzz with one
name: Jesse Reid. Tall and soft-spoken, with eyes blue as stone-washed
denim, Jesse Reid's intricate guitar riffs and supple baritone are
poised to tip from fame to legend with this one headlining performance.
That is, until his motorcycle crashes on the way to the show.
Jane Quinn is a Bayleen Island local whose music flows as naturally as
her long blond hair. When she and her bandmates are asked to play in
Jesse Reid's place at the festival, it almost doesn't seem real. But
Jane plants her bare feet on the Main Stage and delivers the performance
of a lifetime, stopping Jesse's disappointed fans in their tracks: A
star is born.
Jesse stays on the island to recover from his near-fatal accident and he
strikes up a friendship with Jane, coaching her through the production
of her first record. As Jane contends with the music industry's sexism,
Jesse becomes her advocate, and what starts as a shared calling soon
becomes a passionate love affair. On tour with Jesse, Jane is so
captivated by the giant stadiums, the late nights, the wild parties, and
the media attention, that she is blind-sided when she stumbles on the
dark secret beneath Jesse's music. With nowhere to turn, Jane must
reckon with the shadows of her own past; what follows is the birth of
one of most iconic albums of all time.
Shot through with the lyrics, the icons, the lore, the adrenaline of the
early 70s music scene, Songs in Ursa Major pulses with romantic
longing and asks the question so many female artists must face: What are
we willing to sacrifice for our dreams?
