"Backbeat" is a 30-minute long, pseudo-1960s television special directed by Akron-native musical phenom, Michael Weber. The show features a six-song live performance from his musical group, The Michael Weber Show, plus an interview with the show's eccentric host (also played by Weber).
The initial release of this project is only available via Weber's creation of Video 8-Track Cartridges with a USB port that can be viewed on modern smart TVs and computers. The video 8-track cartridges come preloaded with "Backbeat," plus a 20-minute bonus feature mini-doc showcasing unseen footage of Weber's early forays into music, including playing with Counting Crows at age 9.
