The Boys in the Boat – Scoring a True American Underdog Story

The Boys in the Boat – Scoring a True American Underdog Story

Directed by George Clooney and based on the #1 New York Times bestselling book by Daniel James Brown, The Boys in the Boat tells the remarkable true story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, the film follows this group of working-class underdogs as they rise to represent the United States at the Berlin Olympics—defying the odds and capturing the world's attention.

When music supervisor Mandy Mamlet needed era-appropriate music to authentically score several key moments in the film, she turned to Black Toast Music. We're proud to share that four of our tracks—"Until Life Turns Your Way Again," "Little Brown Jug," "At Last I've Found You," and "The World Will Unite"—were featured in the film's evocative soundtrack.

For a story rooted in resilience, hope, and American spirit, BTM was honored to help bring the period setting to life through music.

Once again, BTM delivered.
