On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Doc’n Roll kicked off the fourth edition of their festival with a sold out screening of Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt that featured a Q&A with Butthole Surfers members Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes, and director Tom Stern. The session was moderated by Creem Magazine’s Fred Pessaro, which happened after the documentary by Stern, and the audience featured long time fans of the band along with special guests Jim Jarmusch and Eric André (who appears in the documentary).

I captured the special evening for Doc’n Roll and some images can be found above or in their Instagram post. The festival continues tonight with another screening of Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt and will come to an end next week on Thursday, May 7th.
