“I’m stoked to hit the road in support of my new book, ‘Just Beyond the Light’ – this will be my first solo tour, and without a band behind me, what can people expect? Well, a little bit of book talk… and a bunch of insane stories from my whacked-out life, obviously. I’ll also be answering some questions and signing stuff after – see ya there, ladies & gents!”

Blythe’s previously released memoir, “Dark Days,” focused on the Richmond-based vocalist’s personal story, with a candid re-telling of both his brightest and darkest days. With “Just Beyond The Light,” Blythe shares how he works daily to maintain positivity in a world that feels like it is spinning out of control. In his own words, “Just Beyond the Light” is a "tight, concise roadmap of how I have attempted to maintain what I believe to be a proper perspective in life, even during difficult times." Written with a scathing balance of hard-edged reality offset by a knowing humor and a razor-sharp wit, voiced in in his inimitable, conversational, everyman-philosopher style, Blythe clearly breaks down his approach to life, which is a personal and idiosyncratic mix of sobriety, art, and surfing. He writes movingly of his childhood in the South, of fallen friends, of what he’s learned touring the world as the vocalist of a successful heavy metal band, and of the very real ways he is doing what he can to leave the world a better place. Above all, he offers readers hope that balance, real balance, is possible, even (or especially) when things seem hopeless.
“For me, the single most gratifying aspect of being an artist is learning that your work has been useful to others in some way. I’ve been told by lots of readers that my last book, ‘Dark Days,’ helped them- I hope ‘Just Beyond the Light’ does the same,” says Blythe, about this highly anticipated follow-up memoir.
“Just Beyond the Light” pre-orders are available here.
