Singers, Songwriters, Sinners, and Saints
My Story of the Folk Music Revival
By Ellen Harper with Sam Barry. Foreward by Ben Harper.

A collection of stories from singer and songwriter Ellen Harper—folk matriarch and mother to the Grammy-winning musician Ben Harper.

Harper’s parents opened the legendary Folk Music Center in Claremont, California, as well as the revered folk music venue The Golden Ring. She shares vivid memories of growing up in Los Angeles through the 1960s among famous and small-town musicians, raising Ben, and the historic Folk Music Center.

Beautifully written, this memoir includes stories of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, The New Lost City Ramblers, Doc Watson, and many more.

The book spans a transformational time in music, history, and American culture, covering historical events from the love-ins, women's rights protests, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy to the popularization of the sitar and the ukulele.

Great gift for music lovers, the 1960s, and musical movements.
