Description

ABOUT THE BOOK The ultimate front-row seat to the rise, fall, and rebirth of a band that was--for a time--the biggest in the world, Hootie & the Blowish, and Jim Sonefeld's shattering and redeeming spiritual path from addiction to recovery and a more fruitful life. For a time, there was no bigger band in the world than Hootie & the Blowfish--rock & roll's unexpected foil to the grunge music that dominated the early '90s airwaves. In Swimming with the Blowfish, Jim Sonefeld, drummer and one of the band's principal songwriters, reveals the inside story of the band's humble beginnings, meteoric rise, sudden fall, and ultimate rebirth--and in the telling he opens his heart to readers about addiction, recovery, and faith. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Hootie & the Blowfish drummer JIM SONEFELD dreamt more of being a professional soccer player than a successful musician. But with the unsuspected success of the band’s 1994 debut release, Cracked Rear View, he and his bandmates found themselves traveling the world to support what would become the 16th best-selling album of all time in the United States. The band would record four more studio albums and receive numerous awards, among them, two Grammys.  ABOUT THE EVENT Jim will be in town for a Hootie & the Blowfish show, and QRB is thrilled to welcome him back for a Meet & Greet book signing. Order a book, then stop by anytime between 2pm-4pm to chat with Jim and have your book signed! _________________Please note: All in-person events are subject to change.
