DooWop in the Desert is a site dedicated to the preservation of the music from the “golden age” of Rock and Roll. Located in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is our goal to provide residents of the Southwest and The West with up-to-date information on when and where they can see and hear concerts by their favorite 50’s & 60’s artists.

It also serves as the main platform for marketing my novel Seven-Inch Vinyl: A Rock and Roll Novel. The book is hot off the presses and NOW available for order online at www.outskirtspress.com www.amazon.com & www.barnes&noble.com at the cover price of $22.95. You can also order autographed copies directly from me at a discounted price. To do that, simply enter the site and click on the “Seven-Inch Vinyl” tab on the jukebox.

The book is a MUST-READ for ALL fans of the music. Here is a brief synopsis:

Seven-Inch Vinyl chronicles the evolution of rock and roll between the years 1953-1969. An interesting array of fictional characters takes the reader on a remarkable journey from the rural landscapes of Kentucky where Rhythm and Blues is on the rise to the juke joints of Memphis as R&B meets country to create the Rockabilly sound. From there you’ll journey north to the bustling metropolitan cities of Cleveland and New York where the vocal harmonies from singing groups seems to occupy every street corner. The British Invasion of performers in the mid-sixties threatens the very life of the American music scene. But bolstered by the founding of Motown, and the emerging folk scene from Greenwich Village to Haight-Ashbury, a rock and roll revival rejuvenates past careers and re-kindles the popularity of its early days.

Told against a backdrop of racism, political unrest, war and assassination, the narrative blends actual historic events with music history to demonstrate how rock and roll changed the lives of generations of young men and women to forge the course of the nation and the world.
