Every weekend for decades, the back room of The Barbershop in Drexel, North Carolina, has filled with bluegrass pickers trading tunes while customers wait for a haircut up front. Barbers Lawrence Anthony and David Shirley have run the shop for years, and the film treats their chairs and clippers as just the surface of the place, with the real subject being the informal jam sessions that have kept local musicians playing together in the same room for so long. The camera stays close to the regulars, catching the mix of small talk, gossip, and fiddle and banjo playing that make the shop function as a community gathering spot as much as a business. It is a short, plainly shot profile of one specific place, the kind of small-town institution that rarely gets filmed at all, let alone with this much attention to the music happening just out of sight of the barber's chair.
