Unpretentious and unexpectedly moving.

An effectively emotional look at the power of music therapy to trigger memories lost after brain surgery.

Los Angeles Times -
In key spots, thanks to Simmons' brilliantly wounded gruffness and Pucci's nimble toggling act between vacancy and awakened spirit, The Music Never Stopped achieves an admirable poignancy about our emotional, healing relationship to the songs we love.
