Vermont author Ron Evans breaks new ground with his first non-fiction adventure. Chasing Woodstock is a must have for the coffee table of "hippies" from every generation ( millennial to boomer ) with visually exciting content and more than 100 exclusive photos.
Inspired by a simple act of kindness, a rare artifact and an insatiable thirst for discovering the truth behind Americas untenable loss of domestic tranquility, the author will take you on the quest of a lifetime.
Most of the legendary performers who launched their careers at Yasgur's Farm in August of 1969 never knew of the lost playlist and program for this historic event - until the author introduced it to them. Their reactions were priceless and sometimes shocking.
"Chasing Woodstock" will open your eyes and challenge long held misconceptions. You will go backstage, on stage, off stage and into the dressing rooms of the greatest recording artists of a generation including The Who, Crosby, Still & Nash, Joe Cocker, Arlo Guthrie and so many more. Chasing Woodstock will share back stories and never before granted interviews, taking the reader on a journey of innocence lost and renewed hope.

THANK YOU. Hope to see you this year!
Inspired by a simple act of kindness, a rare historic artifact and an insatiable thirst to discover the truth behind America's untenable loss of domestic tranquility, the author will take you on the last exciting leg of a lifetime quest.
Most of the legendary performers who launched their careers at Woodstock in August of 1969 never knew of the lost 50 page full color playlist and program, which they had been featured in, until the author introduced it to them. Their reactions were still priceless and sometimes shocking.
Erasing Woodstock will take you on an impassioned final journey across America and back to Yasgur's Farm for the much anticipated 50th Anniversary celebration. Along with way, you'll meet even more of the legends of Woodstock as we ask them to help sort out the complexities of America's moral and ethical diametric; leading to a most surprising conclusion.
The trip will have you laughing, crying and cheering. And the artists… well, judge for yourself.
