Join us for his talk about the book at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, October 9 at 5:30pm. The Southern Fault Line offers a fresh — and disturbing — portrait of the South’s tragic political history.

Join us for what promises to be a most interesting evening.

They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book Of Will finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.

Big Spring Entertainment Presents
St. Paul & The Broken Bones

Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2011, St. Paul & the Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debut Half the City, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury. Critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN and NPR followed, leading to shared stages with some of the world’s biggest artists Elton John and The Rolling Stones among them and launching an impressive run of headlining tours behind what Esquire touted as a “potent live show that knocks audiences on their ass.”
The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s Young Sick Camellia. Their forthcoming LP, Angels in Science Fiction , stretches their limbs further afield, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022’s The Alien Coast.

Ashley M. Jones with Lullaby for the Grieving
2025-09-25 17:30 - 19:00 | The NewSouth Bookstore, 105 S. Court Street, MONTGOMERY, AL, 36104, United States
In her fourth poetry collection, Lullaby for the Grieving, Ashley M. Jones studies the multifaceted nature of grief: the personal grief of losing her father, and the political grief tied to Black Southern identity. How does one find apath through such deep sorrow? Jones, Alabama’s first Black Poet Laureate (2022-2026), has been much celebrated for her verse. Of this new collection, Imani Perry observes, “Ashley M. Jones’s poems are at once history, sermons, and soul songs. A truth-teller in verse, Jones reaches into the past to teach us courage in the present.” Jones will read from and talk about Lullaby for the Grieving at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, September 25 at 5:30pm. Hope you can join us.
