17. That same day, there will be a theatrical screening of the film at the Gene Siskel Center in Chicago. Following the one-night-only screening, Davis and his brother Richie Davis will host a Q&A session. “Stony Island” tells the story of “two struggling musicians who buck the odds in their attempt to form an R&B band and take it on the road,” according to a release provided to Variety.
It follows Richie Bloom, the only white kid on the block, who forms a band with his best friend Kevin Tucker. Aging sax legend Percy Price mentors them as they pull together a funky supergroup.
