Chicago's Most Sought-After Rockumentarians Poised to Film a First For Charity
Wiggle Puppy Productions on Board to Capture Inaugural Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival

RIVER FOREST, IL, November 18, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An event boasting such a diverse bill piled into such a historic building couldn't go unrecorded. Wiggle Puppy Productions, the enigmatic filmmakers behind popular High Definition concert films of icons like Phish, The Flaming Lips, Umphrey's McGee, Matisyahu, and The Secret Machines, have offered their services to ensure that it won't.

While David Grisman, The Avett Brothers, The Giving Tree Band, Ha Ha Tonka, Lil 'Ed and the rest of the artists lead the foot-stomping on-stage at the inaugural Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival (www.cbgbfestival.com), Director Mark Krieglstein and Producer Sara Yule will coordinate the filming of 18 sets and 24 hours of music. The dynamic duo will use their recordings to create a live album, feature concert documentary, and individual edits of selected songs from Chicago's historic winter music festival that will be available for digital download in return for a small donation to the Saving Tiny Heats Society's (www.savingtinyhearts.org) research efforts. Please check back with the CBGB Festival or Wiggle Puppy for more information on purchasing these downloads to benefit charity.

In addition to helping a righteous and homegrown cause, the production will mark the first performance to be filmed inside the historic Chicago City Landmark.

Upon completion of the feature length documentary, Wiggle Puppy's cinematic tribute to this needed addition to the city's winter concert calendar will be available on cbgbfestival.com and leading download destinations. All profits from the sales of these HD video downloads will go to support the Saving Tiny Hearts Society's mission to find cures for America's #1 birth defect.
