JOSHUA TREES The Book explores the history, music, and modern folklore of California’s High Desert. Woven throughout is a personal narrative offering perspectives on creativity, relationships, and life as a bartender. Add in musings on topics of the day, including tourism, #vanlife, and Airbnb, plus a few campfire-worthy ghost stories, and you’ve got a rambling read that feels like a spur-of-the-moment road trip out West, with a cool country-rock soundtrack cranking from the stereo.
