The Road Beneath My Feet: A Blisteringly Honest Memoir of Live Music and Life on Tour

By Frank Turner

Book Overview

The Road Beneath My Feet by Frank Turner is a captivating memoir that takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the life of one of the UK's most beloved singer-songwriters.

Told through tour reminiscences, this is a blisteringly honest tale of a rock career that's taken Turner from drug-fueled house parties and the grimy club scene to international prominence and acclaim.

But more than that, it's an intimate account of what it's like to spend your life constantly on the road, sleeping on floors, invariably jet lagged, all for the love of playing live music. With raw honesty and a storyteller's flair, Turner chronicles his relentless touring schedule, the highs and lows of life on the road, and the transformative power of music.

From his early days in punk bands to his rise as a solo artist, Turner shares intimate anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the world of a touring musician. This memoir is not just about the miles traveled, but about the friendships forged, the challenges overcome, and the unwavering passion that drives him.

With its blend of humor, heart, and unflinching honesty, this book offers a unique perspective on the life of an artist and the road that lies beneath their feet.
