Songs and Readings from The Alehouse at the End of the World

Books Around the Corner 40 NW 2nd Street, Gresham

The Alehouse at the End of the World is Stevan Allred’s bawdy romp through the afterlife, written with the gusto of a great drinking song, and there are actual songs in it. When it came time to do the audiobook, Allred had his recording engineer, Dan Rhiger, do the singing. Join Stevan Allred and Dan Rhiger’s band, Sky in the Road, for an evening of Americana and Celtic music, and songs and readings from The Alehouse at the End of the World. Books are available for purchase at Books Around the Corner now and will also be available at the reading and signing. Email info@booksaroundthecorner.com to order a copy today!
