In 1960s Texas, an introverted boy named Walter is left on the doorstep of his great-uncles, Hub and Garth McCann — two old eccentric curmudgeons with a mysterious past and a fortune stashed away. An unlikely family is born when the McCann brothers recount exotic tales of adventure and romance from their youth, inspiring Walter to become a man, while Walter in turn reignites their lust for life.
The album is produced by Zachary and Weiner, Michael Croiter and Dominick Amendum. The full cast of Secondhand Lions includes Wendi Bergamini, Jason Danieley, Kevin Earley, Gregg Edelman, Brian Flores, Emily Gardenhire, Deon’te Goodman, Alexa Green, Nehal Joshi, Garrett Long, Andrew Mayer, Chessa Metz, Trey Middleton, James Naughton, Ramone Owens, Ava Della Pietra, and Jenny Powers.
