Columbus Public Library
Synovus Room A & B combinedJohn us for this incredible Lunchtime Author event with Bob Crawford.
By day he is the bassist for the American folk rockers The Avett Brothers. But when he’s not on tour or in the studio, Bob Crawford can be found pursuing his passion for American History on podcasts like American History Hotline and The Road to Now. This multi-talented musician and writer has now written his first book: America’s Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, from President to Political Maverick. Bring your lunch and join us for this special appearance where Crawford will discuss his passion for history and why he thinks Quincy Adams might be American’s greatest ex-president. The event is free and open to the public, and books will be for sale at the event. A special event package including a copy of the book, reserved seating and a photo opportunity will be available for purchase in August at CVLGA.org.
About the author: Bob Crawford is the bassist for the Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers and creator of the iHeart Curiosity podcast series Founding Son: John Quincy’s America, and the SiriusXM Volume Channel docuseries Concerts of Change: The Soundtrack of Human Rights. He’s also co-host of The Road to Now history podcast. However, Bob does not just play a historian—in 2020 he earned a master’s degree in history from Arizona State University. More important than his passion for music and history is his dedication to raising awareness about pediatric cancer. Bob and his wife, Melanie, are co-managing partners for the Press On Fund, an organization that seeks to find less toxic treatments for childhood cancer. Bob is periodically a speaker on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. It’s a personal cause, as Bob’s daughter Hallie is a three-time cancer survivor.
THE AVETT BROTHERS: Be sure to catch The Avett Brothers in concert at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts on the evening of October 8! Tickets on sale now!
