"Drive All Day" is a collection of true-life stories. From hundreds of gigs to studio recordings, Jamie Anderson shares the full experience of what it's really like for a working musician in her trademark entertaining way. She's too old to drive all night, but if driving all day means getting to play music for a living, she's all in. Jamie rants about everything from Spotify, who paid her ten cents one quarter, to sharing the road with clueless truckers who don't pull over even when they're dragging a curtain of sparks behind them. Read about a trip to Hawaii where she hardly noticed the beaches, (Because: Ukuleles), a gig at a hospice where they didn't want soothing instrumentals and candlelight, and a Canadian winter that saw her walking to class every day, even when the Real Canadians were driving. There's also the trip to Dollywood where her mom was the oldest person in line for a bone-rattling roller coaster but, then again, this is the same woman who jumped out of a plane in her seventies.. Dive into a musician's life and if you learn anything, remember to stay off the roller coasters at Dollywood, unless you have a jumbo bottle of Ibuprofen.

Autorenporträt
Jamie Anderson is the author of three books including the memoir Drive All Night and An Army of Lovers, about women's music of the eighties and nineties; both were finalists for GCLS Goldie awards. She's a music journalist, writing for a plethora of publications and websites. Her favorite word is plethora. Jamie is a performing musician with twelve albums. A winner of dozens of music awards, she has yet to win a Grammy or a Juno although she can play the ukulele behind her head while hula hooping. Jamie did her first tour in 1987 because she needed to earn money to get to a music festival. Thousands of gigs later she's still collecting tiny motel soaps. Also, a music teacher with a popular YouTube channel, she lives with two cats and her long-suffering wife in Ottawa, Canada, when she isn't busy escaping the cold in Tucson, Arizona.
