RAISED ON ROCK AND ROLL

Imagine connecting with a bunch of musicians who started out as kids in the 60s, turned pro, and spent the rest of their careers – the rest of their lives – in and around the business. Raised on Rock and Roll takes you there, through the highs and lows of chasing the rock and roll dream. Drawing on interviews with more than 50 musicians from his hometown Winnipeg – Neil Young called it the rock and roll centre of Canada – award-winning author Larry Hicock paints a sweeping yet intimate portrait of one of popular music’s most electrifying, most enduring eras. The 260-page book is illustrated with XX vintage 60s-era photos that capture the city’s magical music scene and the kids who made it happen.
