LJ Ross Book Club: March

This month’s LJ Ross Book Club selection is The Storyteller – Tales of Life and Music by the musician Dave Grohl. He describes the book in his own words as, ‘A collection of memories of a life lived loud. From my earliest days growing up in the suburbs of Washington DC, to hitting the road at the age of 18, and all the music that followed, I can now share these adventures with the world, as seen and heard from behind the microphone.’ Grohl rose to fame as the drummer for grunge band Nirvana, following which he became the founder, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter for the alternative rock band, Foo Fighters. He’s also toured and appeared with several other bands, including Queens of the Stone Age. With a musical pedigree like that, his memoirs would always make for an interesting read, but even more so given that The Storyteller was not written by an anonymous celebrity ghost writer, but by the artist’s own hand.
