July 2020 — Tent Show Troubadours Orchestra — You're Gonna Do is a new original song and video created in the time of sheltering in place. This is what happens when we have too much time on our hands.

The video is the story about a 1940s swing band that never quite made it. A one-hit blunder. A rag-tag group of musicians whose reach was beyond their grasp, as dreams of fame turned to ashes, and events conspired against them. Yet, despite it all, they managed to record one great song... which almost no one heard. That song is You're Gonna Do.
