A book-signing is set Monday afternoon in Hopkinsville with Steve Gorman, whose memoir “Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes,” covers the inside story of his life as drummer for one of America’s greatest rock bands.
Gorman will be at the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library, 1101 Bethel St., from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10.
The book will be available to purchase from Gorman at the library, or fans may bring their own copy to have it signed.
Gorman, who grew up in Hopkinsville and graduated from University Heights Academy, co-founded The Black Crowes.
The memoir, co-written with Steve Hyden, is the first account of The Black Crowes’ story by a member of the band. Gorman recounts his 27 years in the band as often turbulent.
Gorman, who lives in Nashville, is now the drummer in another band he co-founded — Trigger Hippy, which has a concert Feb. 28 at the Alhambra Theatre.
