Dave Grohl’s memoir, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music, was very good. I highly recommend the audiobook, which Dave narrates himself. He is truly a storyteller �� I appreciated his humor, animation, and ability to tell both funny, entertainment focused stories and those with more depth that were personal.

I honestly had very little familiarity and knowledge of Dave or The Foo Fighters or Nirvana before reading The Storyteller. Of course I know the classic song “Smells Like Teen Spirit�� but wasn’t working with much beyond that. I share this to emphasize that you don’t need to be a huge fan of the bands to enjoy this book.

Dave grew up in Virginia. He dropped out of high school to join a band, Scream, and traveled the country in a van with his bandmates. Eventually he joined Nirvana and after Kurt Cobain’s death, formed The Foo Fighters.

While music is appropriately a huge part of Dave’s story, I really enjoyed the stories he shared about his family �� His mom being his number one fan, through and through, and his clear commitment to and love for his wife and their 3 daughters.
