Join Spartanburg’s own Michael Buffalo Smith on Thursday, January 30th at Hub City Bookshop to promote his latest book, The Road Goes on Forever: 50 Years of the Allman Brothers Band Music. Marshall Tucker Band drummer, Paul T. Riddle, will also join us for music and conversation, as he has appeared as a member of the Allman Brothers band alongside the late great Butch Trucks while filling in for his friend Jaimoe.
Michael Buffalo Smith began his journey as a rock journalist while in high school, but came to be known as “The Ambassador of Southern Rock” following the creation of his GRITZ magazine in 1998. He has written countless features, reviews and interviews for a wide variety of publications, including Rolling Stone, Mojo, Goldmine, Relix, Hittin the Note, Blue Suede News, Sandlapper, the Spartanburg Herald Journal, the Tryon Daily Bulletin, the Polk County News Journal, and more. Smith will read passages from the book and a signing and Q&A with Paul T. Riddle will follow.
