Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fletch Morgan has been fronting the same Americana band for twenty-five years. He's made a living, made some records, and made a kind of peace with the life that came out of it; two-lane highways, honkytonks, and a tour bus that runs on diesel and stubbornness. He's not famous anymore. He's not quite forgotten either. He's just out there, playing the rooms that still want him.When his longtime drummer dies at the Suwannee Roots Festival, everything Fletch has spent a quarter century holding together starts to come apart at once.He doesn't quit. He auditions replacements. And in a bar in Union Valley, Texas, behind a drum set she's never touched before, a twenty-three-year-old bartender named Janey Colter proceeds to detonate on a song she wrote in high school for a punk band that never existed, and then proceeds to play and sing a forgotten song from his past. They hire her and never look back.Fletch Morgan's Chaos Band is a novel about what happens when the road you've been on your whole life leads somewhere you never expected, and whether you're brave enough to follow it all the way there. It's about a band that becomes a family before anyone decides that's what's happening. About a young woman who walks into somebody else's story and finds out it was hers all along. About a man who spent twenty-five years carrying something he didn't have words for, and a daughter who turns out to be the reason the words finally come.It's about music the way music is actually about things. Not the notes, but what the notes are standing in for. The grief that travels best in a chorus. The truth that only comes out sideways, through a song, on a stage, in front of strangers who didn't know they needed to hear it.Somewhere between Texas and the Grand Ole Opry, something real happened to this band. Fletch Morgan's Chaos Band is that story, told from the inside.
