"American Idiot" is the 2004 masterpiece from modern rock super group Green Day. It was one of the most anticipated albums of 2004. Inspired by The Who, "American Idiot" is an epic, unapologetic rock opera that follows the story of Jesus of Suburbia, an anti-hero character created by Billie Joe Armstrong. The politically-charged narrative would top the Billboard 200 and yield the hit singles “American Idiot”, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, “Holiday”, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Jesus Of Suburbia”. Selling over fourteen million copies worldwide, the album is listed on Rolling Stone’s "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Tap dancer Melinda Sullivan and pianist and composer Larry Goldings started collaborating in 2019—they met when they were both working on a musical about Margaret Sanger. Sullivan asked Goldings to help her record a retirement video for her father-in-law (who’s a fan of Goldings), of “Somewhere,” from “West Side Story,” and it was during this session that they bonded over a common love of musical theater. They enjoyed this first collaboration so much—Goldings on piano and Sullivan tap dancing on a little wooden square—that they kept doing it. Through the pandemic they would meet up and record new covers and improvisations and post them to Instagram and elsewhere, and, when venues opened back up, they started to play out live. They recorded their debut album, “Big Foot,” with Pete Min for Colorfield Records, and brought in guests like Steve Gadd, Sam Gendel, and CJ Camerieri, among others.
