About the Film

Last Stand at Dodge is about a band who play at the same club every Tuesday night for 13 years and struggle to maintain their residency. It shows how the band and those who love them are forced to move on.

A band playing every Tuesday at the same venue for over a decade is almost unheard of. “Last Stand at Dodge” follows the lives of four gifted musicians who struggle to maintain their residency after playing once a week at the same local club in Salem, MA for 13 years. Fats Hammond, a funk/jazz legacy band, grew a dedicated following on Tuesday nights. But ultimately, the survival of Fats Hammond was at the mercy of its overzealous opportunistic owner. The future is cast into serious doubt as band and owner duke it out.
