PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN is a feature-length documentary inspired by musician, producer, and manager Peter Asher’s celebrated cabaret show A Musical Memoir of the ’60s and Beyond. The film opens in theatre's mid-June, but you can see it first during our special Summer of SFF premiere preview screenings.

Like his stage performance, the film traces an extraordinary life lived at the center of modern music history and became the real-life inspiration for the character of AUSTIN POWERS.

From his early years as a child actor in 1950s London to the Swinging Sixties, Asher emerges as a Zelig-like figure in the culture of the era: one half of the pop duo “Peter and Gordon,” recipients of four chart-topping hits penned by Paul McCartney; the first head of A&R at Apple Records; and co-owner of the Indica Gallery, the epicenter of London’s counter-cultural art scene.

Asher helped define a generation of singer-songwriters as producer and manager for James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and others, cementing his reputation as one of music’s most influential behind-the-scenes forces of the 1970s and ‘80s.
Featuring intimate interviews with James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Kate Taylor, Lyle Lovett, Natalie Merchant, Marianne Faithfull, Paul Jones, Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtell, Lee Sklar, John Boylan, Paul Shaffer, and Paul McCartney [in voiceover], as well as cultural icons Steve Martin, Eric Idle, Twiggy, and Pattie Boyd.

Everywhere Man paints a vibrant portrait of a man whose life intersects with some of the greatest artists and moments of the last six decades. The soundtrack—woven from the timeless hits of those featured—creates a score as unforgettable as the story itself.

Our sponsoring host 107.1 CJCS - Stratford DJ, Jamie Cottle will provide introduction and insight during our Q&A session and highlighting Peter Asher: Everywhere Man incredible influence on the entertainment industry and our lives.
It’s a Musical Extravaganza !... Don’t believe us? Just look below or download the Spotify playlist from the film’s soundtrack and you’ll be singing all week.
