In South Georgia, 1977, beyond the bright lights of Atlanta, where darkness meets light, is Club Bamboo. Best friends built the place for live entertainment, accented with Georgia bamboo and featuring a fireplace, bar, and bedrooms. Club Bamboo is the pulse of South Georgia, and Raw-Ready and Willing-often rules the stage.

The band consists of Vincent Fingers on guitar. Charles, better known as Dr. Thump, plays bass. Sam Pony Boy is on drums, and Amos-Mr. Velvet-is lead singer, along with backup singers Cheryl Butter; Sue Ann, or Sweet; and Janet, known as Red Lady. The band plays at the club, but they're more than musicians.

These boys can fish, known in the neighborhood as master fishermen. With woven baskets they made themselves and a jar full of bait from the store, they fill all the baskets with catfish in no time and feed the people who come see them play. Club Bamboo is a story of true brotherhood, as several black men struggle in the Deep South but find victory in the power of song.
