Join us at Midtown Reader for a reading and signing with Bruce Horovitz, award-winning journalist, entrepreneur, and author of Gamble Rogers: A Troubadour’s Life.
Beloved raconteur, environmentalist, and down-home philosopher, Gamble Rogers (1937-1991) ushered in a renaissance of folk music to a place and time that desperately needed it. In this book, Bruce Horovitz tells the story of how Rogers infused Florida's rapidly commercializing landscape with a refreshing dose of homegrown authenticity and how his distinctive music and personality touched the nation.

My son who is about to turn 50 and adored Gamble (who taught him some guitar fingering) and I would love to give him a biography of G.R. Is there one? I can only find vinyl records. I have all his c.d.'s. but I would like a book about him. (Does he remind you just a bit of Lewis Grizzard??)
