Tom Wilson had already built a life as a rock musician when he learned the truth about where he came from. Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the Road Home is the bestselling memoir behind the musical he co-created, and he tells the story the way he tells everything: songs, laughter, and no small amount of trouble.
Spend an evening in his company as he reads from the memoir, performs an intimate acoustic set, and answers your questions.
We are also giving away signed copies of the memoir and tickets to opening night of Beautiful Scars on Friday, September 11. Head to our Instagram to enter by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 6.
