Event marks release of novel about 1970s rock tours

A launch party for author Glenn Schiffman’s autobiographical fiction novel titled "Life in the Fast Lane: Truckin' on the 1970s Rock & Roll Road” is Friday, Nov. 10. 

Starting at 5 p.m., this free community event is hosted by Slow Burn Records in Whitefish. Schiffman will read some short chapters from his book, share his own true stories, and answer questions about writing the book and his personal 1970s rock tour experiences.

In the 1970s he worked full-time as a sound equipment truck driver and rigger, touring with more than 40 top-grossing bands, including Led Zeppelin, Elvis, Linda Ronstadt, Loggins and Messina, and the Rolling Stones.
