Music News Digest: Arkells' Max Kerman Turns Author, An East Coast Classic Enters the Canadian Songwiters Hall of Fame

In other stories this week, the late Dave Bookman inspires a talent-studded benefit in Toronto, Brodie Schwendiman returns to the Hamilton club scene and international stars pay tribute to Triumph.

Max Kerman, frontman of Arkells, has turned author. Published this week by Penguin Random House, Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress is a memoir that is also a motivational look at the creative process. In an interview with The Globe & Mail's Josh O'Kane, Kerman states "I make no claim to be good. The only claim I make is that I try hard.”

Spotify Audiobooks partnered with Kerman on an invite-only release last night (April 21) at Morning Parade Coffee Bar in Toronto, the coffee shop where he wrote most of the book. Kerman told stories about always being the guy to shoot his shot, including a night spent asking Shania Twain about her creative process (including how much she sleeps), and shared behind-the-scenes details about recording the audiobook.
