Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This concert happened before the film even released — the Coens essentially threw a release party where the fictional Llewyn shared a stage with his real inspirations.
Rhiannon Giddens' performance here directly led to her joining the Carolina Chocolate Drops and eventually winning a Pulitzer for music — this was her breakout moment disguised as a tribute.
