About this product
Product Information
2020 IPPY Awards Gold Medalist, Great Lakes Best Regional Nonfiction Relying on oral histories, hundreds of rare photographs, and original music reviews, this book explores the countercultural fringes of Kent, Ohio, over four decades. Firsthand reminiscences from musicians, promoters, friends, and fans recount arena shows featuring acts like Pink Floyd, The Clash, and Paul Simon as well as the grungy corners of town where Joe Walsh, Patrick Carney, Chrissie Hynde, and DEVO refined their crafts. From back stages, hotel rooms, and the saloons of Kent, readers will travel back in time to the great rockin' nights hosted in this small town. More than just a retrospective on performances that occurred in one midwestern college town, Prufer's book illuminates a fascinating phenomenon: both up-and-coming and major artists knew Kent was a place to play--fertile ground for creativity, spontaneity, and innovation. From the formation of Joe Walsh's first band, The Measles, and the creation of DEVO in Kent State University's art department to original performances of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and serendipitous collaborations like Emmylou Harris and Good Company in the Water Street Saloon, the influence of Kent's music scene has been powerful. Previously overshadowed by our attention to Cleveland as a true music epicenter, Prufer's book is an excellent and corrective addition. Extensively researched for eight years and lavishly illustrated, Small Town, Big Music is the most comprehensive telling of any of these stories in one place. Rock historians and fans alike will want to own this book.

Reviews
"Kent, Ohio, infamous for the 1970 Kent State University shootings, also spawned a robust and influential music scene. Drawing on vintage concert reviews and firsthand reminiscences, Prufer paints an affectionate picture of a music-hungry community that welcomed artists including Pink Floyd, the Clash, the Replacements, and Bruce Springsteen--as well as hometown heroes Devo and Joe Walsh--often at early, pivotal stages of their careers." -- Publishers Weekly, "Kent, Ohio, infamous for the 1970 Kent State University shootings, also spawned a robust and influential music scene.

College. Kent State is what made Kent such a magical place at the time and what continues to make it special. And I would never be able to be where I am now without that experience. It was just a magical time." --Joe Walsh, from the Foreword

Great service. Item was exaclty as shown; that was great but what blew me away was the personal attention to my order : not only was it well packaged and protected for shipping they gift wrapped my purchase, tied it with a bow and even included a personally addressed and signed card. Not to mention a handful of sweet book marks. Never have I had such service for such a small item - above and beyond - Love these ppl!
