After focusing on 1940s and 1950s jazz for the first ten years of their existence, The Lesters began writing original songs for a six-song EP which was released in 2017.

The money to make the film came from many sources.
In 2012, a Kickstarter campaign raised $28,000 to begin work on the movie.
In September 2013, Foster began a second round of independent fundraising with a self-run campaign that featured backer rewards such as Postcards from the Road (Great Big Sea's XX tour), private lessons in anything over Skype, a song performed with the band, Backer Beer, a cast-signed script or lookbook, a part in the film, a session with the editor, a house concert, or even the chance to beat the director at board games.
Foster and Ford performed pop-up performances at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival to promote the film.
