Description
Ray Cappo's memoir is a heartfelt and humorous account of his transformation from hardcore punk musician to monk. Living in New York City in the '80s, Ray was part of the influential straight-edge movement, but despite its popularity, he felt unfulfilled. His journey took him to India, where he immersed himself in spiritual culture and encountered extraordinary characters, leading to a radical transformation that changed his life forever. As he navigated this new path, Ray experienced profound moments of divine connection and was inspired to write music again. He returned to the US and co-founded Shelter, a band dedicated to spreading a message of faith, hope, and love. This memoir chronicles Ray's emotional and spiritual journey, told with warmth and candor. With a foreword by Moby, this book offers a unique perspective on spirituality, personal growth, and the power of music to bring people together.
