Ad man Chris Epting has written a series of location themed books that highlight pop culture landmarks across the US. His latest, Led Zeppelin Crashed Here, takes readers on a musical journey that visits almost 600 hotel rooms, concert venues, birthplaces and graves linked to rock ‘n’ roll history. Music junkies in need of a reason to plan a road trip will find plenty of material to choose from in this comprehensive guide to the musical landmarks of North America.
Do you know where Buddy Holly’s plane crashed? Or the club where the Sex Pistols played their first and last US concerts? Or the hotel where Keith Richards threw a TV out the window? This book tells all, and might be the perfect inspiration for planning some music-inspired vacations. The book comes out in May, but Epting has created a few crafty trailers to get all you music fans excited.
