Join us for an evening celebrating three legendary musicians and the authors who bring their stories to life. We're welcoming Mike Edison to Kingston for the upstate launch of his new book, Sympathy for the Drummer: Why Charlie Watts Matters. Mike will be joined by locals Peter Aaron, co-author (with Richie Ramone) of I Know Better Now: My Life Before, During, and After the Ramones; and Holly George-Warren, author of the newly released Janis: Her Life and Music.

Come for the readings, stay for the special musical tribute! Book signing, live music, mingling and merriment to follow. This event is free with food, drink, or book purchase.

Seating is first-come, first-serve, but you can reserve a spot by PREORDERING a book (or three!) online (http://roughdraftny.com/preorder) or in person at Rough Draft. Not ready to buy a book? RSVP on Eventbrite so we can keep in touch with you in case of updates or changes, and so we know how many people to expect.

Please note: Rough Draft is an all-ages establishment; however, this event may contain adult language and content.
