The Cinema Strangiato event also will include a short documentary offering a glimpse into the making of Geddy Lee‘s new book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, which features a new interview with the Rush frontman.

“I’m excited for fans to see some new clips from our R40 tour,” says Lee, “but also a peek behind the scenes of making the Big Beautiful Book of Bass.”
