Oct 21st 2025

Join us with journalist Cree MCree for a presentation and book signing celebrating her memoir, MY LIFE UNDER DEADLINE: Frontline Dispatches from a Trailblazing Woman Music Writer she appears in conversation with Alex Rawls.

A rock 'n' roll life, written in real time. From punk’s raw rebellion to the deep soul of Delta blues, from backstage chaos to dance-floor epiphanies, MY LIFE UNDER DEADLINE chronicles four decades in the trenches of music journalism. Veteran writer Cree McCree didn’t just cover the scene—she lived it. Riding in vans, haunting dive bars, chasing the magic from New York to New Orleans to Mississippi, McCree brings readers inside the world of the musicians who shaped the sound of our times.
