Amanda Petrusich celebrates It Still Moves release at BookCourt

Tonight, Paste's very own senior contributing editor Amanda Petrusich will host a signing tonight for her new book, It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, And The Search For The Next American Music, at BookCourt in Cobble Hill at 7 p.m.

Petrusich's expansive project, which started as a piece for Paste, chronicles her journey through the Midwest, Deep South and East Coast in search for a unifying definition for American Music and where it's ambiguous future lies. Her experience digs deep into delta blues, country, folk and indie to write a geographical love letter to our favorite art form and pastime.

In addition to her work for Paste, Petrusich also writes for for Spin and Pitchfork, among other publications, and contributed to the 33 1/3 series with her essay on Nick Drake's Pink Moon.
