Your Song Changed My Life shares the momentous events that have shaped not just the lives of these stars, but ultimately the landscape of modern music, and illustrates the ways in which music is revived, restored, and revolutionized. In conversation with musician and writer Carrie Brownstein, co-creator of Portlandia, guitarist in Sleater Kinney and author of Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. Book signing to follow.
