Rock and Roll Explorer Guide to San Francisco and the Bay Area - Mike Katz

Mike Katz was born in Atlanta, came of age in New Orleans, and eventually made his home in New York City. He is an obsessive music history enthusiast, voracious reader, veteran bookseller, photographer, and the father of Alison, who is (naturally) a medieval scholar. He currently splits time between New York and Monterey, CA. Crispin Kott was born in Chicago, raised in New York, and has called everywhere from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Atlanta home. An avid music enthusiast and failed drummer, he's written for numerous print and online publications, and has shared with his son Ian and daughter Marguerite a love of reading, writing, and record collecting. As a longtime Brooklyn resident and recent returnee to the Bay Area, Crispin has been able to indulge in his love of Rock & Roll of the past, present, and future. Mike Katz and Crispin Kott also co-authored Rock and Roll Explorer Guide to New York City (Globe Pequot, June 2018) and Little Book of Rock and Roll Wisdom (Lyons Press, October 2018).
