Today, Dave tells us about two memoirs written by independent musicians: Orenda Fink of Azure Ray and Neko Case of the New Pornographers.

The Witch’s Daughter: My Mother, Her Magic, and the Madness That Bound Us — by Orenda Fink

“Acclaimed indie musician and songwriter Orenda Fink’s lyrical and moving memoir about growing up with a mother who battled mental illness and addiction is a ‘master text on surviving trauma as a child and adult.’”

The Harder I Fight the More I Love You: A Memoir — by Neko Case

“Singer-songwriter Neko Case paints a vivid portrait of an extraordinary life — one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desire, bursts of comedy and indispensable friendships — reflecting on the way art, music and a deep connection to nature helped her become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist.”
