Frontman

"Being the frontman of a popular band is a high-risk profession. Richard Barone, former lead singer of indie rock pioneers the Bongos and renowned solo artist, has survived two decades in the spotlight to tell the tale. From dallying with the glitterati in the trendiest night spots, to collaborating with some of the top names in the music industry, to innovating the intimate chamber-pop genre and emerging as an A-list recording artist and producer, Barone continues to push the boundaries of modern rock and inventive self-expression." "In Frontman, we are along for the ride as Barone recounts, in a frank and charmingly-funny style, the supernova express of New York City stardom and endless tours; parties; sexual politics, divas, disappointments, and drugs; his journey of self-discovery through music; and a lifetime's worth of hard-gained advice for anyone, interested in getting into the music business - or just surviving in it. Frontman is the story of a unique man who has outlived the myth."--BOOK JACKET.Barone, Richard is the author of 'Frontman ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780879309121 and ISBN 0879309121.
