He tested out playing frontman to a band, appropriately named "Jeff Bridges and the Abiders", at a local club and got enough encouragement to take it on the road last summer, then returned in February to a larger venue, the semi-historic Freemont Theater (where he has appeared on the big screen many times), as a lead-up to our annual Film Festival where he was Guest of Honor.
