"Drive All Day" is a collection of true-life stories. From hundreds of gigs to studio recordings, Jamie Anderson shares the full experience of what it's really like for a working musician in her trademark entertaining way. She's too old to drive all night, but if driving all day means getting to play music for a living, she's all in.

Read about a trip to Hawaii where she hardly noticed the beaches, (Because: Ukuleles), a gig at a hospice where they didn't want soothing instrumentals and candlelight, and a Canadian winter that saw her walking to class every day, even when the Real Canadians were driving.
