Ponderosa Stomp

The Ponderosa Stomp is a cultural warehouse. A rock-and-roll defibrillator. A creaky wooden ship helmed by Ira Padnos (Dr. Ike) that sails through the seas of music history and smashes cannon balls through the cliches of American Rock understanding. Stomp founder Dr. Ike is an anesthesiologist by day and and a vinyl hoarding musicologist by night. This New Orleans based Foundation hangs on by bloody knuckles to preserve the past and engage with rocks obscure still-living legends. This film, directed and edited by  Jeff Nichols, is dedicated to all those who make this inspiring foundation go.
