“The 2011 lineup was just released and I hear a lot of travel plans are being made,” said Groth. “I’m looking forward to meeting other music lovers and sharing the advice I wish I had.” Groth, a Raleigh-Durham area author, will be announcing more cities and dates soon, which will include stops in Charleston, Boston and New York. Select cities will feature a book talk-concert combination.
