Imagine being a musician and songwriter trying to establish your own name despite having a country legend as a father. Or after several # 1 Billboard Country hits not being able to sing for two years because of brain surgery. Or being married to one of the most respected songwriter/producers in Nashville, and seeing all your marital problems splashed on the front page of the news.

Can’t imagine what it’s like to be Rosanne Cash? Neither can I.

She has broken through her father’s shadow and has successfully made her own mark for sure. Cash has a couple of #1 Billboard Country hits, bestsellers under her belt and has written fiction ranging from fairy tales to short stories. Seems like a lot doesn’t it? Well, the only thing that she hasn’t done is visited us here in Decatur—which is what she’ll be doing on the 14th of August to share her new memoir, Composed.

Mark your calendars and come on over to Agnes Scott College’s Presser Hall where Cash has promised to share some stories, sign your books and also play a couple of songs at the end of the event. She will perform on a custom-made Martin guitar donated by America’s oldest brewery, Yuengling. And it gets better—this awesome guitar will be auctioned after the event, proceeds of which will go towards the festival’s literacy efforts.

Do you want to purchase her new book and also attend the event? Worried about the cost? Don’t worry; purchasing the book will be your entry into the event. The event is being brought together by DBF, A Cappella Books and Agnes Scott College.
