Acclaimed Canadian folk singer Garnet Rogers will be at The Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough on Wednesday Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. to discuss his new memoir “Night Drive: Travels With My Brother.” This very special event will include music and humorous anecdotes from the book. According to Garnet the book includes “stories about how Stan and I grew up together, discovered music together, and learned to play in a band and travel together. And nearly every stupid, inexplicable and bizarre thing that could happen to a pair of young idiots who were naive enough to think they could play folk music for a living back in the mid- 70’s and early 80’s. The bar fights and the bike gangs, the police chases and the arrests. And a thousand gigs in every corner of North America. It’s all here. At least most of it…”
Garnet had frequent gigs at The Folkway in Peterborough and has included a chapter about The Folkway.
This event is free and all are welcome. For more information call the bookstore at 924-3543.
