The Man of a Thousand Songs, starring Ron Hynes, Joel Thomas Hynes and featuring Amelia Curran is a the highly rated movie about music and story telling for the many thousands of Ron Hynes fans across Canada.

We saw Ron two weeks ago at Harvest House and he packed the place with his fans. They loved him. We’ll post his exclusive interview about the new movie  this morning.

The film is full of Ron performing some of his most famous songs, including Sonny’s Dream, The Saint John Waltz, Boy from Old Perlican, and Dry.

Fans can also expect gut wrenching honesty and his famously disarming sense of humour because Ron tells his own incredible story in his own blunt manner.

Ron’s manager and publicist sent us clippings from media reviews and they are glowing.

“This richly textured movie is nothing less than a St. John’s waltz of the spirit, a tribute to our iconic balladeer, the Atlantic blue man himself. Ron, a message to you from St. John’s with love: you shine like diamonds.” Noreen Golfman

“The director’s deep respect for his subject shows in his willingness to let the man tell his own story.” Variety

“…a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist.” Geoff Pevere Toronto Star

“The film is clean, raw, and holds nothing back… a brilliantly fine film.” Stephen Pedersen

“A movie that’s awfully hard to shake off when the house lights come up.” Now Magazine

“The combination of Hynes’ candour and the director’s sensitivity yields one of the year’s most moving Canadian docs.” eyeweekly
