Early Reviews Are In Book Launch in Brooklyn: ‘The Midnight Special’ | Straight Up

0 23


 The Observer says Colin Asher’s The Midnight Special will “transform” the way you see art. Booklist calls it “mesmerizing.” Publisher’s Weekly likes it, and so does The Houston Press; also Alex Gershman dives deep into the book on his YouTube Channel; Maurice Chammah drills down on Ike White, one of the book’s featured musicians, in a discussion with Asher at The Marshall Project; Henry Carrigan in his Reading Room column at No Depression (about roots music & culture) calls it “riveting … judicious and incisive,” and both Vol 1. Brooklyn and Town & Country recommend it.  More reviews to come . . .

The book launch will feature The Cambia Collective, a band that performs music written by incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists. The Collective has appeared in New York City at the Cutting Room, Cell Theater, DiMenna Center, and Abraham House, as well as in Westchester County at Green Ossining’s Earth Day Festival and the Sing Sing Prison Museum’s UNSUNG conversation series. There will also be an open bar.
