About this event
Join Hall Branch for a discussion of What A Fool Believes: A Memoir by Michael McDonald. In his candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970s California, a heady moment of rock opportunity and excess. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him on a wild ride around the world and to the heights of rock stardom - from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of the Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R&B artist.
