What music is keeping you sane during these weird times? Whether it's jazz, rock, or country, did you know it all grows from the same... roots?

Join us for a conversation with Richard Manning, author of If It Sounds Good, It Is Good: Seeking Subversion, Transcendence, and Solace in America's Music and Rediscovered Books Co-Owner Bruce DeLaney as they talk history, life, and all things music.

Richard Manning is a lifelong journalist, guitarist, and—most importantly—banjo player.

His newest book dives into the history, heart, and soul of American roots music: the product of poor, working-class folk, and the source of American music as we know it today.

Whether you're a historian or a music buff, this event is a treat!
