Captive Audience: Stories

R.E.M., Abe Vigoda and Francis Ford Coppola are just a few of the many characters who populate the world of Captive Audience, Dave Reidy's paean to the highs, lows, and everything in-between of performing. From the opening story, the award-winning "The Regular," in which two indie-music fans bond over their particular brand of karaoke, to the final tale, about a musician-turned-dancer's bizarre encounter with his boyhood pop-music heroes, this bittersweet and humorous collection of stories gives voice to those who are driven to perform, no matter the size of the audience.
