Sam Shaber: Life, Death & Duran Duran

Highly Recommended. A wistful humorous journey.... full review

This musical tale of teenage obsession, love & loss will ring true for any of us who imagined we really did share a life with our rock star crush, expecting to hear back when gifts are sent or letters are written.

With a beautiful, charismatic presence, Sam Shaber leads us through the journey of someone looking for themselves, and finding out they can be so much more than they expected. Personal reflection and observation take on a universal feeling that feels like a warm hug when you need it most.
