Roger Williams University’s Live@RWU performance series presents the critically acclaimed 2014 film, which depicts the friendship of the late jazz legend Clark Terry – age 89 in the film – and Live@RWU guest Justin Kauflin, a 29-year-old blind piano prodigy who has suffered from crippling stage fright.

In his melodic debut, Australian director Hicks spent four years following the charming and sometimes poignant mentorship between jazz-legend Clark Terry and blind piano prodigy, Justin Kaulflin, during a pivotal moment in each of their lives. At eighty-nine years old, 'CT' has played alongside Duke Ellington and Count Basie his pupils include Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, but his most unlikely friendship is with Justin, a 23-year-old with uncanny talent but debilitating nerves. As Justin prepares for a competition that could jumpstart his budding career, CT's failing health threatens his own. Beautifully nostalgic with a reverence for the importance of finding your own sound, Keep On Keepin' On celebrates an iconic musician while introducing one of equal vibrancy. It is a mentoring tale as inspirational as its subjects.

The following night, the Justin Kauflin Trio takes the stage at Roger Williams University in Bristol for an intimate Live@RWU performance. Click here for more information on the concert, which is free and open to the public.
