BRUTUS HAPPENS AT #HAPPENS

What happens in Vegas happens at #Happens.

#Happens is a yearly gathering of music and media in Las Vegas that brings together artists, tastemakers, influencers, brands, and others that concentrates on the world of new Rock music. It occurred this year in late-February at the Golden Nugget.

Among the presentations and band performances, Brutus gave the first reading from his forthcoming memoir SONIC WARRIOR: My Life As A Rock N Roll Reprobate. Along with two-chapter excerpts, he gave an overview of the project and also fielded questions from the audience.

It was not a public event. The presentations and showcases were only open to official attendees. However, it included radio and record friends from around the USA. We will shortly post dates for Lou’s initial book tour dates.

The entire schedule of events from #Happens can be seen here.

“SONIC WARRIOR” AUDIOBOOK

The street date for Lou’s memoir is April 14, 2020 and that’s the same day you’ll also be able to get it in audiobook form!

SONIC WARRIOR: My Life As A Rock and Roll Reprobate (Tales of Sex, Drugs and Vomiting at Inopportune Moments) is being released by Recorded Books. You’ll be able to acquire it wherever you get audiobooks.

As per your (insistent) requests, the audiobook is being read by Lou himself! He recently did the reading at the DuArt Media Services studios in New York City. The legendary company has a century-long history in film and media production with an Academy Award to their credit. That Oscar is actually in their lobby. The main narration took two-days to complete with a third day left for pick ups and fixes.

Brutus thanks the incredible crew he worked with on the recording in New York including Evan, Tovi, and Nick.

You can preorder the audiobook from Audible here. Further links posted as they become available.
