R.I.Y.L.-Standing-book

Local author and former booking agent Adam Voith is celebrating the release of his latest novel, Recommended if You Like, on Saturday at Studio Paris in East Nashville. Recommended if You Like was released for free on Aug. 1 via Little Engines, the digital literary publication that Voith runs here in Nashville. The novel explores the worlds of ’90s Christian rock, zine culture and more through a unique narrative device — the recorded cassette-tape monologues of Anderson Humphrey, “a music obsessive and aspiring snob known curiously as The Christian Humper in a vast but isolated underground scene in the 1990s.” Voith’s bona fides in the national music scene are front and center with book jacket blurbs from the likes of Bon Iver and Father John Misty, the latter calling it “absolutely excruciating” while clarifying that he loved it. Like the novel itself, Saturday’s release celebration is free to attend. Longtime local musician William Tyler will be in conversation with Voith at the event.

6:30 p.m. at Studio Paris

1015 W. Kirkland Ave., Suite 203
