Visits Barnes & Noble at the Waterfront
Thursday, April 7 @ 7:00 pm

Homestead, PA, March 10, 2011 – Suburban dad and Allderdice High School graduate, Alan Paul was supposed to be moving to China for his wife’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Instead, he ended up with an incredible adventure of his own, founding and fronting Woodie Alan, a Chinese blues band, that would be named “Beijing’s Best Band” and becoming a national touring sensation. He also became an award-winning columnist, as he sought to capture the exciting vibrancy of his new home in the capital of the world’s largest and most rapidly developing nation.

In BIG IN CHINA: My Unlikely Adventures Raising a Family, Playing the Blues, and Becoming A Rock Star in Beijing, Paul recounts these life-changing years playing music and raising three American children in Beijing. Thought provoking and passionate, BIG IN CHINA is an entertaining account of one man’s personal journey and transformation.

Join Barnes & Noble at the Waterfront as we welcome Alan Paul for a discussion and signing of BIG IN CHINA Thursday, April 7 @ 7:00 pm.
