Meet & Greet with author Hank Ewert

Hank Ewert is back at Front Street Books for a meet & greet! Whether you had a chance to chat with him during Artwalk, or even if this is your first time hearing of him, stop by for a signed copy and a fun chat with the author.

He’ll be at Front Street Books on FRIDAY, March 6^th from 2 to 5 PM.

Let the Music Speak: Tracking the Sounds that Changed Everything, 1945-1950 is a unique perspective on postwar American popular music and its roots. Ewert creates an unusual window into how the music itself developed and eschews the traditional narrative approach of music books: the book literally takes the reader into the specifics of what happened and why—letting the experience of the period provide a different story than most histories of rock and roll or jazz or country. The book’s lens on music-making and its cultural context shows rather than tells the interested reader what happened and how key musical genres evolved in six crucial years.
