Song Sung Blue, A Movie to Watch
The movie to see this year is “Song Sung Blue.” A true love story about living your dreams no matter what!
Neil Diamond Inspired
Inspired by Neil Diamond, the movie follows Mike and Claire Sardina, artfully played by Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. Hudson has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and SAG award. The duo leads a successful tribute band to Neil Diamond in Madison, Wisconsin in the 1990’s. Jackman and Hudson sing the Diamond tunes masterfully. From the feel-good songs to the emotional ballads, all of Diamond’s songs are all covered beautifully.
Tragedy Strikes
Like life, there are many ups and very tragic downs in the Sardina story, we can all relate too. These crisis’s are the moments that speak to us about life’s thin balance between happy and hopeless. The love story is the main focus and Hudson and Jackman provide a personal line into the strong bond of Mike and Claire. All their struggles and joy highlighted by the music of Neil Diamond.
Claire Lives in Phoenix
I was fortunate enough to enjoy the highly rated “So Good, The Neil Diamond Experience,” on January 6, 2026. Claire actually lives in the Phoenix and performed a short song with the lead singer, Richard Neary. Please, take a peak and you won’t be sorry, especially if you’ve seen Claire and Mike’s story. If you haven’t seen “Song Sung Blue” you can stream the real documentary the movie was based on for FREE. Truly an experience you won’t forget.
Claire’s singing from January’s concert is linked here. After watching, you can understand why she is experiencing such interest in her story. You can catch the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 11th. Check out my personal website for more feel good inspiration: KathyHusserTempe.com
