The following description comes from the event organizer.
Bushwick Book Club artists create a music response to author William Least Heat-Moon's road-trip chronicle, Blue Highways. Without a destination, Least Heat-Moon traveled the country on America’s “blue highways”— rural, two-lane roads so-called because of their color in the road atlas. Part memoir and part travelogue, Blue Highways is an exploration of self and community, an enduring reminder that a country isn’t just a place — it’s people.Heads up: Blue Highways travels deep into many rural parts of America in the politically charged post-Vietnam era of the late-1970s, capturing dialects, attitudes, and customs — warts and all.
