Join Ryann Donnelly, former lead singer of Seattle band Schoolyard Heroes, for a special performance-based event to celebrate the launch of her new book Justify My Love: Sex, Subversion and Music Video (Repeater Books).

Justify My Love is a book about the mysterious energy of performance — how it can change lives, and how it can challenge conceptions of gender, sexuality and race. Featuring an intensely personal narrative of Donnelly’s own journey in the music world — from small dive bar gigs with bandmates who were also lovers, to shaking hands with Jay-Z as she signs her first record deal — Justify My Love is a raw account of the soaring heights and heartbreaking lows when art, love, and sex collide.
