How 'Nirvanna the Band's Jay McCarrol Scored Matt Johnson’s New A24 Anthony Bourdain Biopic, ‘Tony’

Johnson’s Nirvanna the Band the Show comedy partner is the Toronto-based musician and composer behind all five of his films, including the new A24 biopic set during one summer in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in the 1970s. He talks about the process and shares his favourite movie scores of all time.

Anthony Bourdain had a larger-than-life personality. The late chef, author and travel documentarian was known for his cultural curiosity and no-nonsense attitude — a strong sense of self that began developing in his late teens. His brash spirit is captured in Matt Johnson’s Tony, a biopic about one transformative summer in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

When Jay McCarrol crafted the film’s score, he let Bourdain’s budding persona shine through. “It was certainly the most minimal I've gone,” McCarrol tells Billboard Canada.
