The Grigoryan Brothers – A Boy Called Sailboat

Published on 15 April 2021

Acclaimed guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan have expanded their creative output by crafting and recording the soundtrack to the award-winning movie ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’. Join Slava and Leonard on Monday 19 April at 7.00pm as they play the soundtrack live on stage and watch ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’ on the big screen.

This heartwarming movie, written and developed by Melbourne-based creative team Cameron Nugent and Andrew Curry was filmed in New Mexico and stars Academy Award® winning actor J.K Simmons, Noel G, Elizabeth De Razzo, Jake Busey, Lew Temple and Julian Atocani Sanchez.

Sailboat brings love and hope to a family who have forged a simple but proud life in the droughtridden

Deep South. One afternoon he brings home a “little guitar”. From this moment, Sailboat and his little guitar are inseparable, and when his ill grandmother requests he write a song for her, Sailboat meanders through adversity to deliver the unimaginable – the greatest song ever written.

The Latin-themed soundtrack is a key element to the movie.

The performance will be followed by a 20 minute Q & A with the film’s director/screenwriter Cameron Nugent.
