Book Launch: DUST by Ray Robertson

Join Ray Robertson and Biblioasis at Studio One (Chatham Cultural Centre) on Friday, November 28 for the launch of Robertson’s new book DUST: MORE LIVES OF THE POETS (WITH GUITARS). The event begins at 7 PM.

Musicians Staig & Billings will perform a set of covers by the musicians featured in DUST, including Alex Chilton, Muddy Waters, and Captain Beefheart.

In Dust: More Lives of the Poets (with Guitars), Ray Robertson digs deep, offering up an eclectic gathering of a dozen biographical and critical portraits of some of the twentieth century’s most innovative, influential, and fascinating musicians. From rock to folk, blues to gospel, country to the unclassifiable; from the famous, to the forgotten, to the barely known, Ray Robertson combines a novelist’s eye for dramatic detail with an unapologetic fanboy’s obsession with the lives and lasting artistic achievements of twelve of his musical heroes.
