Dave Graney in conversation with Leanne de Souza (Director of the Rock & Roll Writers Festival) about Graney's new book 'Workshy'. The book is available for purchase here: http://avidreader.com.au/products/work-shy Legendary Australian showman Dave Graney returns to the page and reveals the lengths he has gone to avoid anything that really feels like work. In his inimitable style, Graney veers from a feckless childhood in blue-collar South Australia, to the punk rock scene of 1980s London, and beer-soaked nights touring Australia where he worked very hard at not working at all. But in slacking off, Graney became one of the hardest working musicians in the industry, constantly evolving, reinventing, staying one step ahead of everyone – even himself. Workshy is half written by Dave Graney the consummate and tireless performer, and half-written by Dave Graney the bludge. The magic is that you’re never sure which is which. This podcast was recorded at Avid Reader Bookstore in Brisbane as part of our year-round events schedule.
