“Dave Rooney and Dave Browne aren’t just performers, they’re immigrants who are setting off on an adventure to discover America”, says director and executive producer, Karl Nickoley. “Along the journey, they explore the country’s deep Irish heritage, and their wider relationship to recent immigrants from across the world. In our time of introspection and reflection as a nation defined by immigrants, these two musicians offered the perfect opportunity to discover our collective national character. Does the American dream still exist?”
