Rockin’ a Hard Place

Take a deep dive into the very trenches of the music industry.

Experience the place where rock ‘n’ roll really beings. Where venues gamble their very existence on touring artists. Where some artists go on to win Grammy Awards, most crash and burn, and a very few legends survive. Where an invisible world of agents, managers, lawyers, roadies and assorted characters grab for their slice of an often-unsavory, multi-billion-dollar global pie.

And what about the fans — the millions of the live-music lovers whose tickets finance what may be the world’s largest wealth-distribution system?

This memoir’s the ticket to a show about happens long before fans line up at the ticket booth and the bar and long after they leave.
