Netflix Announces NEW Release Date for Documentary About the Life and Career of Robin Trower: “We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be now be released on…”

Netflix has officially revealed the updated release date for its highly anticipated documentary on the life and career of British blues-rock icon Robin Trower. Originally set to premiere earlier this year, the streaming giant has now confirmed that production is complete and the film will be released on June 15, 2025. Titled “Day of the Eagle: The Robin Trower Story”, the documentary is expected to be a definitive look into the life of the guitar virtuoso whose influence spans decades.

Robin Trower, often dubbed the “White Hendrix” for his soulful tone and expressive playing, rose to fame in the early 1970s with his breakout solo album Bridge of Sighs. Before going solo, Trower made his mark as the guitarist for Procol Harum, contributing to the band’s psychedelic and blues-rock edge. The documentary promises to explore both phases of his musical evolution, offering rare archival footage and interviews with collaborators, producers, and Trower himself.

According to sources close to the production, the film will trace Trower’s early days growing up in Southend-on-Sea, England, his formative influences, and his first encounter with an electric guitar — an event he’s described as life-changing. It will also delve into his long-standing admiration for Jimi Hendrix, whose spirit echoes through much of Trower’s tone and phrasing. Fans can expect an intimate portrayal of a musician who quietly shaped the sound of British blues-rock.

One of the standout elements of the film is its focus on Trower’s artistry beyond just the stage. Through never-before-seen rehearsal footage and studio recordings, viewers will gain a glimpse into his meticulous songwriting process and the tone-chasing experiments that defined his signature sound. His collaboration with bassist James Dewar and drummer Reg Isidore on Bridge of Sighs will be a key feature, shedding light on how that trio crafted a landmark record.

The documentary will also tackle the quieter years of Trower’s career, when mainstream visibility waned, but his creative output remained strong. Interviews with modern musicians — including blues artists and guitarists who cite Trower as a major influence — will highlight his enduring legacy. Guitarists like Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer have spoken publicly about their admiration for Trower’s phrasing, control, and emotional playing style.

Adding emotional weight to the story is the exploration of personal losses Trower has endured, particularly the passing of close collaborators. The film doesn’t shy away from vulnerability, capturing how grief and solitude have informed some of his most powerful later works. It’s this honesty, paired with his musical genius, that the documentary seeks to bring to the forefront.

Netflix executives have stated that their goal was to not just celebrate Trower’s music, but to offer viewers a full portrait of the man behind the Stratocaster. “We are happy to announce that we are done with production, and it will now be released on June 15,” read the company’s official statement. “Robin’s journey is one of quiet brilliance, and we’re honored to help tell it.”

The documentary will be accompanied by a curated soundtrack featuring remastered versions of his classics, including “Too Rolling Stoned,” “Day of the Eagle,” and “Little Bit of Sympathy,” along with a few unreleased live cuts from recent tours. Fans can also expect special content on the Netflix platform, such as behind-the-scenes interviews and guitar breakdowns.

Critics and early reviewers who attended a private screening have described the film as “emotionally resonant” and “long overdue.” Many are calling it one of the most in-depth documentaries ever produced about a British rock guitarist, and a compelling watch for both longtime fans and those new to Trower’s music.

With its official release date now confirmed, anticipation is building.
