Red Letter Days
The debut memoir by Matt Pryor
(The Get Up Kids, New Amsterdams, The Terrible Twos)
Red Letter Days follows the life of a musician growing up, on the road, and following his dream of being a successful musician. Taken from journal entries from 1990–2000, the book is a collection of short vignettes about Pryor’s experiences crisscrossing the country (and the continents) with the band and the cast of characters he meets along the way told via first-person accounts of his most memorable moments.
228 pages including rare and never-before-seen photographs by Paul Drake, Michael Dubin, family members, and more.
