Loud Medicine

Autor James Kennedy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 aug 2025
A raw, unfiltered ride through the music industry’s underbelly—told from the van, not the penthouse.

Behind every stadium-filling superstar are thousands of musicians fighting to keep the dream alive. In Loud Medicine, rock musician James Kennedy pulls back the curtain on the real lives of working musicians, far from the private jets and five-star hotels. This is the music industry as you’ve never seen it before: gritty, chaotic, and unvarnished.

With sharp wit and unapologetic honesty, Kennedy dismantles the myths of rock stardom, revealing what it truly means to carve out a career in music today. From the relentless grind of touring to industry scams, dysfunctional bandmates, and the ever-present struggle to “make it,” Loud Medicine is part exposé, part manifesto, and all heart. Packed with stories from the road and a few well-aimed punches at music’s biggest gatekeepers, this is a love letter to the only medicine music lovers can’t live without.

From the non-stop grind of touring to industry scams, problematic bandmates and the hard-core 'make it' mentality, Loud Medicine is packed with stories straight out of the tour bus, administering a love for the medicine that is rock music."

“For those that have never traveled the world as a touring artist — which is probably most of us reading this list — rock musician James Kennedy is here to tell you what it's like in Loud Medicine: Dispatches From the Music Industry Underworld.”
