Author, humorist and songwriter Michael Perry presents an evening of words and music. After opening the show with a passel of heartfelt (and often hilarious) stories drawn from his books (including, "Coop-A Year of Poultry,Pigs and Parenting," "Truck: A Love Story," and "Population 485") Perry will take the stage with his band the Long Beds for a lively performance of original "roughneck folk" songs. Michael's books and CDs will be available for sale and signing.  He will sign at the conclusion of the event.  Mike in Truck

The event will take place at St. Cecilia's Theatre at Cotter High School, starting at 7:00pm (doors will open at 6:30pm) and lasting about 2 hours.  Michael will tell us some hillarious stories for about 50 minutes, with a 10 minute intermission, and then the band will perform for an hour.  Michael will autograph books at the end of the performance.

Tickets are $15 each and are VERY LIMITED.  Tickets will be on sale beginning February 22nd here at The Book Shelf.  For more information contact store staff.

Tiny Pilot CD


$12.00

Michael Perry and the Long Beds present their latest CD release.

Like so many before him, Michael Perry learned to sing in church. Then a Waylon Jennings 8-track got him hooked on boogety-boogety. This combination yielded the mix of straight-up twang and churchly harmonies found in Perry's music. Tiny Pilot is Michael Perry's second full-length release with his band the Long Beds. The songs on Tiny Pilot range from boot-stomping country to roughneck folk ballads and are populated by characters drawn straight from rural and small-town America. The music made by Perry and his Long Beds has been described as 'country folk,' 'folk-twang,' and Americana.

The CD version of Tiny Pilot includes 3 exclusive tracks not found anywhere else!

Declare Your Independence!

Rally

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for individuals to denounce the corporate bands which threaten to homogenize our cities and our souls, we must celebrate the powers that make us unique and declare the causes which compel us to remain independent.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all stores are not created equal, that some are endowed by their owners, their staff, and their communities with certain incomparable heights, that among these are Personality, Purpose and Passion. The history of the present indies is a history of experiences and excitement, which we will continue to establish as we set our sights on a more unconstrained state. To prove this, let’s bring each other along and submit our own experiences to an unchained world.

We, therefore, the Kindred Spirits of IndieBound, in the name of our convictions, do publish and declare that these united minds are, and darn well ought to be, Free Thinkers and Independent Souls. That we are linked by the passions that differentiate us. That we seek out soul mates to share our excitement. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the strength of our identities, we respectively and mutually pledge to lead the way as we all declare that we are IndieBound!

To sign the Declaration, go to www.indiebound.org/declaration-indiebound.
