TV Exclusive: CUTTING-EDGE COMPOSERS CORNER- Jessica Phillips Sings Eric Dietz's 'All the Walls'

This week we are excited to feature composer Eric Dietz and his new musical, ALL THE WALLS, inspired by the powerful true story of Aron Ralston's escape from Blue John Canyon, Utah in 2003. After a falling boulder pins Aron's arm to the canyon wall, the adventurer's limits are put to the ultimate test. He finds strength in the memories of his friends and family, giving him the courage he needs to survive. In the title song, Aron's mother asks a police officer for assistance in her rescue efforts. When the officer declines her plea, she begs him to see the situation from her perspective. Here is the amazing Jessica Phillips (Next to Normal) performing the song at our 54 Below concert this past January.

ERIC DIETZ is composer/lyricist living and working in New York. His shows include All The Walls (musical drama), Sweet Jesus!(musical comedy), and Getting Mary Out of Bed (sitcom). He is currently assisting on the Broadway production of Gigistarring Vanessa Hudgens. Eric's music has been featured at Birdland Jazz Club, 54 Below, The New York Theatre Barn, and NYMF.
