TAKE IT EASY - And more tips for...

Ryan Millar

TAKE IT EASY™ isn't about a new way of doing improv, nor is it meant to replace your own style or approach. Instead it's a mindset that can inform your performance and your approach to improvisation. The exercises and ideas in here will give you more freedom onstage, help you be less attached to the outcome and more in the moment, and generally see you having more fun. 
This is not an ‘introduction to improv’ book, nor is it a how-to manual. This book is a collection of thoughts and observations designed to give people a different perspective on their craft, and it also includes games and exercises for people to do on their own or to bring to their group to reinforce some of the principles and ideas and thoughts expressed herein. 
Improv is, paradoxically, a pursuit that requires both dedication and an absence of trying. For when a player is trying too hard, they will inevitably fail. This book, by longtime improviser and improv teacher Ryan Millar, is filled with stories, thoughts, advice, and exercises to help players improve their improv, and do more by doing less.  
TAKE IT EASY™ is the chillest way to supercharge your improv.

Only Wanna Be with You - The...

Tim Sommer

In 1985, Mark Bryan heard Darius Rucker singing in a dorm shower at the University of South Carolina and asked him to form a band. For the next eight years, Hootie & the Blowfish—completed by bassist Dean Felber and drummer Soni Sonefeld—played every frat house, roadhouse, and rock club in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, becoming one of the biggest independent acts in the region. 
 
 
 
In Only Wanna Be with You, Tim Sommer, the ultimate insider who signed Hootie to Atlantic Records, pulls back the curtain on a band that defied record-industry odds to break into the mainstream by playing hacky sack music in the age of grunge. He chronicles the band's indie days; the chart-topping success—and near-cancelation—of their major-label debut, cracked rear view; the year of Hootie (1995) when the album reached no. 1, the "Only Wanna Be with You" music video collaboration with ESPN's SportsCenter became a sensation, and the band inspired a plotline on the TV show Friends; the lean years from the late 1990s through the early 2000s; Darius Rucker's history-making rise in country music; and one of the most remarkable comeback stories of the century. Featuring extensive new interviews with the band members, some of their most famous fans, and stories from the recording studio, tour bus, and golf course, this book is a must-listen for Hootie lovers and music buffs.
