Aging rockers reunite for a nostalgic comeback tour, facing the challenges of life on the road, personal sacrifices, and the quest for relevance in a changing music scene. Will their enduring friendship and love for music reignite their passion and purpose?

In We Only Play Three Songs, Trevor Martin, once a mediocre rock star, grapples with the realities of reviving his career after four decades. Initially hesitant, he is drawn back into the spotlight when his former manager proposes a summer tour for The Sir Martin Five, the band that briefly tasted fame in the 70s. As Trevor reconnects with his bandmates-each having carved out different lives-he faces the daunting task of rekindling their musical chemistry while navigating the complexities of aging and shifting industry dynamics.

Rehearsals in a makeshift studio reveal both the humor and heartache of their journey. Old rivalries resurface, and personal challenges threaten to derail their efforts. Trevor's wife, Florence, serves as a grounding force, reminding him of the sacrifices made during his initial rise to fame. The tour kicks off with unexpected success, but the road is fraught with obstacles, from cramped buses to unpredictable audiences. As they adapt to new realities, the band must confront whether they are mere relics of the past or if they still have something meaningful to share.

With warmth and wit, C.W. Carpenter captures the essence of friendship, the healing power of music, and the joy of rediscovery. We Only Play Three Songs is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring spirit of rock and roll, celebrating the bonds forged through shared experiences and the magic of performing together once more.
