Local Description"Bassist Wes and drummer Corey are decidedly not amped when they are assigned to the lamest band at summer jazz camp, stranded for two weeks in a tiny town near Pittsburgh, surrounded by strivey white dudes in fedoras. When their new friend, a highly look-at-able, guitar-playing girl called Ash, convinces them that “out on the road is where bands get good”, the three stage a midnight escape from camp and hit the road. What follows is a laugh-out-loud hilarious road trip around the southern United States, involving guys with guns, hot tubs, police chases, and music. - Tiffany
DescriptionTHE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER..Wes and Corey are convinced nothing cool can come of their lame summer at jazz camp, when along comes Ash - all blonde hair and brash words - and cracks their world wide open.
