Author Tamara Saviano will read from her latest book, Poets & Dreamers: My Life In Americana Music, and tell stories about her longtime client and friend, Kris Kristofferson. Laurel Lewis (debut album produced by Rodney Crowell) will sing a few Kristofferson songs to get us in the mood.
Part memoir, part oral history, Poets and Dreamers races Saviano’s remarkable journey through the rise of the Americana music genre. Spanning more than three decades, Saviano unfolds the story of Americana from her unique perspectives as the first woman president of the Americana Music Association, and as a journalist, historian, Grammy-winning music producer, filmmaker, and artist emissary.
Tender stories recalling Saviano’s close relationships with two of her most enduring clients, iconic songwriters Kris Kristofferson and Guy Clark, round out this singular historical work. Including photographs of significant people and moments in Americana music, Poets and Dreamers: My Life in Americana Music will entertain and inform a worldwide readership of fans, students, and scholars of Americana and roots music.
