In The River Running: or Choking On Water & White Bread

By Adrian Benjamin Pedraza

n the River Running is a raw, electrifying portrait of Phoenix Jackson, a young musician at a crossroads. Once the pulse of underground garage-rock outfit Siren, Phoenix now drifts through a standstill that cracks open every part of his life-old friendships, lost loves, even his Aunt Mimi's new dog.Told in a fevered letter of restless prose, his journey surges through Frisco's streets and stages, from hospital beds to back-alley dives. Along the way he collides with hipsters, urchins, and ghosts of the past-each encounter pulling him deeper into the chaos of memory, music, and survival.

Blunt yet lyrical, In the River Running captures the fire of youth and the fractures of becoming. It is more than a story but a memoir revealing life as urban as it is prophetic, as sound as it is chaotic, and as gritty as it is poetic.
