“ROCKIN’ IN THE BOOK WORLD – 32 YEARS OF THE ROCK BOTTOM REMAINDERS” – PANEL

Free

The ROCK BOTTOM REMAINDERS, an endearingly ragtag cover band established in 1992 and mostly made up of high-profile published authors, performed at Miami Book Fair more than a dozen times over the years. And they’re reuniting right here this year, bringing together a lineup not seen together on stage for more than a decade! Meet the latest iteration of the group – which includes MITCH ALBOM, DAVE BARRY, SAM BARRY, ROY BLOUNT JR., GREG ILES, MARY KARR, STEPHEN KING, RIDLEY PEARSON, AMY TAN, SCOTT TUROW, and ALAN ZWEIBEL – as its members look back at “life on the road,” past performances, and oh, yeah – their books. Moderated by author and journalist LISA NAPOLI.
