SONG OF THE DEAD UPDATE

Filming wrapped up last month on Song of the Dead, Jack Russo’s and Russ Streiner’s (Night of the Living Dead) latest film endeavor. Post-production is taking place as we speak. Shari Richards recently attended a screening and says that Jack and Russ are thrilled with the footage that they shot and are working towards a full-length movie now. In addition to the songs that Shari and Norman performed live in the film, they are now recording a new song in the studio to be used for the ending credits. The Blues Come Blowin In is a song Norman recently wrote that features Shari’s soulful vocal.
