ALIVE IN '95 IS A FAST, FUN, NOSTALGIA-SOAKED RIDE LACED WITH BANTER, DESIRE, AND THE SUSPICION THAT IN LOVE AND MUSIC, TIMING IS EVERYTHING.
It's 1994, and music television is about to peak. A record exec on the brink sparks a made-for-media rivalry between her fading stars, The Reverie, and Bolero, the punchy newcomers led by the magnetic Dempsey brothers. Nat's all hustle, Jamie's all chaos, and there's nothing fake about their feuding.No one's had more close-ups with the brothers than lifelong friend Eleanor. Part-time photographer and full-time mess, Eleanor is suddenly conflicted by a questionable job offer with Bolero and a connection with The Reverie's frontman. Tensions rise when old feelings resurface in the new dynamics. As Bolero starts to headline more tabloids than gigs, loyalties are tested, and the lines between performance and reality blur. A world tour is coming fast, but with all the twists of temptation and fate, will anyone be left standing when the curtain rises and the ball drops into 1995?Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, Deep Cuts, High Fidelity, and the Oasis reunion, Alive in '95 blends grit, longing, and humor into an unforgettable debut.Major Themes
