Nick Jaina: Get it While You Can

a live music performance with reading

Sunday, July 17 at 2:00 p.m.

 

Nick Jaina

 

Get it While You canPortland musician Nick Jaina's debut memoir, Get It While You Can, was a recent finalist for the Oregon Book Awards.

When his beloved guitar is stolen, Jaina finds himself untethered from the dream he’s pursued since he was sixteen. No matter how many albums he’s released or tours he’s led, he still can’t shake the feeling that he has failed at life. So the critically acclaimed, endlessly heartbroken singer-songwriter checks himself into a ten-day silent retreat. As those silent days unfold, Jaina attempts to rewire his own brain in a burst of unpredictable digressions and unsent love letters, musings on the miracles of science and the fallen heroes of popular music. Get It While You Can is a late-night ode to the pursuit of sanity.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Admission is free, and open to the public
