Join John McEuen for this special event. John will discuss his new memoir, answer questions from the audience, and pick a tune or two.
The Life I’ve Picked is a memoir by John McEuen, one of the founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. NGDB, now 50-years strong, is best known for its evergreen bestselling album Will the Circle Be Unbroken and for its gorgeous version of the song “Mr. Bojangles.” McEuen is one of the seminal figures who conceived and originated the fusion of folk, rock and country, a unique sound still hugely popular today.
"John McEuen was a breathtaking prodigy when he made his bones in the Southern California music scene of the early seventies. This book chronicles the realization of that early promise and the challenges of a professional musician's life on the road." Linda Ronstadt
"Beautifully written, John's book is an intimate and revealing memoir of a long and diverse music career and the ups and downs of life on the road. We've each had a complicated and thrilling journey since our high school friendship sent us off into the world." Steve Martin
“Nitty Gritty is one of the greatest bands and gifts music will ever hold. John McEuen doesn't know how not to be honest...as a player or an author. You’re going to love this read!!” Garth Brooks
