Willy Vlautin of Richmond Fontaine -- FREE INSTORE

Willy Vlautin of Richmond Fontaine -- Free Reading & Signing
Thursday, May 15th, 7:00pm

Some of you may be familiar with Willy Vlautin from his work with the acclaimed band Richmond Fontaine, where he is the primary singer/
songwriter, and some of you may be familiar with Willy as the New York Times Best-Selling author of The Motel Life, well this will be an evening about coming together. Willy will be a two-hatted man for this special evening, which will include both an acoustic performance and a book reading/signing. Whether writing for the band, or writing for page, Willy has a cinematic flair for portraying what Annie would call the "hard-knock life". Not always lovable, but usually down on their luck folks are the subjects in Vlautin's stories, which have been compared to writers as varied as John Steinbeck, Raymond Chandler, and Bruce Springsteen (not what you'd call bad company).

Willy will be signing Richmond Fontaine CDs and his novels Motel Life and Northline (which comes with a CD).
