HEADZ

Headz the Trilogy is the definitive novel chronicling the culture of music festivals.

First published in 2011, it features a diverse cast of rebellious American characters from New York, San Francisco, and Miami. The book follows their journey across the country to Chicago for Oracledang! — the biggest and baddest festival of the summer. Once there, paths converge for an event none of the characters will soon forget and a concert only a few will get to see.

Headz the Trilogy is a countercultural gem appealing to anyone who has been to a music festival, whether Woodstock, Bonnaroo, Ultra, Burning Man, Rolling Loud, Grateful Dead or Phish, Coachella or Lollapoalloza — you will enjoy this wild, timeless ride.

SET BREAK

Set Break is a new novella featuring dozens of first person anecdotes, vignettes, and bonus scenes — profiling most of the characters from Headz. In some instances, Set Break serves as a prequel to the events and timeline of the original novel, in other cases it adds nuance and context to the real-time events of the novel. It is a delightful, animated respite and deeper dive into the Headz universe.

ENCORE

Encore is a new novella taking place directly after the events of Headz. It is a sequel to the original novel set at different music festivals across the country. It features fifty first person anecdotes and scenes from several characters, both continuing the Headz saga while being a stand alone novella. Like any good concert, a solid Encore is the perfect ending to any memorable show.
