You have read their books — now hear them perform music
The book festival kicks off March 13 with a performance by the oldies cover band, the Rock Bottom Remainders. Authors Amy Tan, Mitch Albom, Dave Barry, Scott Turow, Ridley Pearson, Roy Blount Jr., Greg Iles, Alan Zweibel and Sam Barry teamup for a reunion concert packed with you-know-the-words music.
This will be the first official performance for the Rock Bottom Remainders since they called it quits in 2012 after the death of band founder Kathi Kamen Goldmark. Several members of the band, which played together for 20 years at book festivals and literature events, did an informal performance at the Miami book festival last year.
The concert replaces the festival's annual authors dinner. Tickets go on sale to the public today.
