Guitargonaut (gĭ-tär′gə-nôt)
An adventurer engaged in a quest. With a guitar. And a constantly evolving idea of how to play it.
Sluggo started rock bands and toured the world for four decades; 1980-2020.
These are stories of what he found out there.
Each chapter mostly revolves around individual gigs, with a couple notable exceptions.
Some exceptions are chapters about his friendships with:
Nirvana (1989-1990) with many previously unseen photographs
Elliott Smith (1993-2000) with unpublished photographs
During the time he toured, Sluggo and his wife lost their home.
 
They became parents, one child became quite ill.
Many of these stories predate GPS and cell phones.
This book contains hundreds of photos, flyers & rock ephemera embedded in every chapter.
In the end, it’s a book about people, community and, well, love.
 
This is the pre-order. The book officially publishes on 7th April 2025.
Thirty three years after Nirvana first appear on cover of Rolling Stone mag and thirty one years since the anniversary of Kurt’s death.
 
508 pages, colour throughout.
