John Santa will be performing at McIntyre’s Fine Books and Bookends on July 19 at 11:00 a.m. and to sign copies of his new book, Bluegrass Is My Second Language, A Year In The Life Of An Accidental Bluegrass Musician. McIntyre’s is located 2000 Fearrington Village, Pittsboro, NC. John will be joined by EightTwentythree and members of the RDU Session Players in a musical performance as well.
Bluegrass Is My Second Language, follows the author as he travels throughout North Carolina playing bluegrass for the first time after a lifetime of playing rock and blues. It is a book about the people and the places where true bluegrass music is still played by men who work in plants and on farms during the day and share their gift of music at night.
Bluegrass Is My Second Language introduces you to the unique places and people of bluegrass. You will visit Haleyland in Reidsville, Jimmy’s Shop and of course, Brown’s Ole Opry in McLeansville, a tobacco barn in the middle of nowhere, where bluegrass musicians have played every Saturday night for over 40 years to a faithful following.
For details contact McIntyre’s Fine Books and Bookends at (919) 542-3030 or Whit Kenney at Nine Sages, Inc. at (919) 834-9299 (www.bluegrassbook.com).
