Hosted by John D. Lamb with performances by Joe Oestreich, author of the book "Hitless Wonder: A Life in Minor League Rock & Roll" a new rock memoir currently on the Amazon Rock Book Charts. Joe is songwriter and bass player for the band Watershed. Oestrich will read from his book and offer an acoustic performance.
“This insightful and entertaining story of a band that almost-but-didn’t-quite make it big in the 1990s is equal parts fascinating autobiography and a hilarious and savvy look at the harsh realities of the music industry. . . . not a story of failure, just a different kind of success.” —Publishers Weekly.

He’s been awarded a fellowship from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, honored by The Atlantic Monthly, and shortlisted for The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007, The Best American Essays 2008 and 2009, and The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses 2010.
