Power Ballads

Real musicians don't sign autographs, date models, or fly in private jets. They spend their lives in practice rooms and basement clubs or toiling in the obscurity of coffee-shop gigs, casino jobs, and the European festival circuit. The ten linked stories in Power Ballads are devoted to the working musician. By turns melancholy and hilarious, it is not only a deeply felt look at the lives of musicians but also an exploration of the secret music that plays inside us all.
