LitQuake & WFMU present…
Way Behind the Music
A night of hilariously odd music memoirs brought to life onstage.
A lineup of esteemed musicians, writers and comedians will read excerpts from a choice selection of music autobiographies, featuring the actual published literary efforts of “authors” like Pat Boone, Flavor Flav, Vince Neil, Jewel, Billy Corgan, Barry White, David Cassidy, Tori Amos, Snoop Dogg, and more.

Proceeds go to Lit Crawl NYC.
