7:30 PM: GEORGIA (1995) - Georgia Flood (Mare Winningham) is a well-to-do folk-singer with a stable family and a loving husband. Her younger sister, Sadie (Jennifer Jason Leigh), is the lead singer in a rowdy punk-rock band. Living in Georgia's shadow causes Sadie to become obsessed with her, and she tries everything she can to live up to her big sister's achievements. Unfortunately it is this very obsession --coupled with her self-destructive tendencies and rampant drug abuse-- that keep her spiraling down the drain.
PATRICK WINNINGHAM: Patrick Winningham, brother of Mare Winningham, started the Patrick Winningham Band in San Francisco in 1984. Their musical styling's are drawn from westerns, Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt. The bands biggest moment was when they were chosen to play a big role in the 1986 hit movie "St. Elmo's Fire." The Patrick Winningham Band broke up in 1993 when the bands lead guitar player (Dan Vickrey) and keyboard (Charlie Gillingham) player left the band to join Counting Crows on their first tour after the album "August and Everything After" forever changed the music scene.
