Hunter Sharpless reads from his memoir Song of the Fool, w/music by Stephen Kellogg

Join writer Hunter Sharpless and singer-songwriter Stephen Kellogg on the intimate "Every Night's a Little Different Tour." Sharpless will read from his brand new book Song of the Fool: On the Road with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers and Kellogg will play some acoustic tunes in advance of his show at the Cat's Cradle Back Room at 8:00!

When nineteen-year-old Hunter Sharpless e-mails roots rock band Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, he doesn't expect a response. He wants to write a book about them. When his inbox chimes two hours later, telling him he has a chance to tour with the band for three full months, he dreams of groupies and Almost Famous. It doesn't take long, though, for Hunter to discover that the road isn't the electric collection of glories it's often billed to be. He's mistaken for a homeless person in Sacramento, thrust onstage in Iowa, and cradled against a toilet in New York. The road is hard. But the Sixers see it differently. Stephen introduces Hunter to a more authentic perspective: behind the lights of the stage, after the glow of the performance, away from the noise of the amps. This is the world Song of the Fool begins to unravel.
