About this listen

 In January of 1971, four young guys who knew nothing about music convinced an entire town they were a hot rock and roll band on the brink of stardom. A lie that crazy could only go one direction… off the rails! 20-year-old Arthur "Ziggy" Zigmond has ideas. Lots of ideas. But no one wants to hear them. Especially the three guys he works with. When they set out from Chicago in a VW bus to shoot a local beer commercial "as a favor to some guy who owes a big favor to some other guy" they find themselves snowbound and stranded by a raging blizzard in Hibbing, Minnesota – former hometown of the legendary Bob Dylan. In an effort to snag free motel rooms, Joe Studebaker, their maverick ad agency producer, passes his motley camera team off as a hot new rock-and-roll band hiding in Hibbing until their upcoming "world debut" on The Ed Sullivan Show. This loopy charade sets off a chain of events that leaves the cash-strapped townsfolk spinning in their wool socks - and the local teen girls in an adolescent frenzy. When Janey Olsen, a 19-year-old of uncommon grace, catches Ziggy's eye, she abruptly flips his world upside down. Beset by recent tragedy, Janey is also hiding a deep secret of her own… and an unfulfilled dream that remains impossibly out of her reach. Deception, longing and desperation have never been so outrageously hilarious… and so equally heartbreaking. Hiding in Hibbing is a wildly careening look at the end of a decade spun by political turmoil and social upheaval; the turning point of cultural chaos that defined who we were then and what we would ultimately become.
