NIGHT PEOPLE IS A FAST-MOVING ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE-FILLED SAGA based on real events that reads like a novel. A young Midwestern singer and his friends experience the transformative power of love, loss, and music in a chaotic 1960s West Coast adventure. If you liked Daisy Jones and the Six, books from Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Robertson, Carly Simon, Keith Richards, and Patti Smith, you'll love NIGHT PEOPLE.

In 1964, Larry's rock and roll vocal group is disintegrating along with his marriage to his high school sweetheart. Despite his resolve to stay in Indianapolis, he finds himself reunited with his friends in far-off San Francisco, struggling to become a rock band in the East Bay's dive bars.

Surviving the evolution, they battle the dangers, temptations, and insecurities waiting to trip them up in their new life. As the band scrambles to overcome, or at least endure, every obstacle in its path, Larry faces a painful choice that will result in loss for those he loves.

Strong voices and new skills are a potent combination. Soon, Larry and his new band are plunged into a breathtaking journey through mob-run nightclubs, Las Vegas showrooms and backrooms, famous Hollywood night spots, Hollywood recording studios, celebrity managers--and passionate romance. Success is just around the corner.
