Spectacle's wild circus mix of interview and performance returns to the younger side of the musical mosaic with this fascinating familial portrait. A group of young artists who hail from sometimes famous show business families take center stage on their own : Jenny Lewis, Jakob Dylan and the indie duo She & Him (singer-songwriter-actress Zooey Deschanel and guitarist/producer M. Ward). Elvis' interviews explore both their current musical adventures and their earliest family influences. Musical performances include Jenny Lewis and Elvis getting together for a song from her new album (which EC played on), Jakob Dylan playing a primitive, stripped-down version of a Wallflower song before sharing a duet with Elvis, and She & Him, according to the Sundance website, "showing off their intriguing, timeless sound". The program comes to a rousing close with Elvis and the all the guests "hooking up for a fitting finale on one of the host's signature hits".
