The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music (BSACAM)'s monthly Conversations with our Curator series continues in May, with BSACAM Curator Melissa Ziobro in conversation online with author and scholar Kenneth Womack. Womack will discuss his latest book, Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans (also available in a UK edition.)
Evans was The Beatles' road manager, personal assistant, and devoted friend for the entire course of their historical career, and into their post-breakup solo years. He was preparing to publish his memoirs before his tragic, violent death in 1976. Womack was granted full access to Evans' unpublished archives, and also conducted hundreds of new interviews, in order to write the first full-length biography of Evans. Womack also has continued working with Evans' family, with plans afoot to follow up the Living the Beatles Legend biography with full publication of Evans' diaries and manuscripts.
This Conversations with our Curator event will take place this coming Thursday, May 23, beginning at 7pm ET. As is customary with the Conversations with our Curator series, Ziobro's online conversation with Womack will be followed by an audience Q&A session.
