About this listen

In the days after high school graduation, Alex “Preacher” Michaels and his best friend see their hopes for a final breezy summer go up in smoke. More trouble looms when shy and indecisive Alex falls for Shannon, a mystifying girl who arrived late in the school year with a snarl on her lips and a guitar over her shoulder.

Set on The Loop in the small town of Renton, Washington, the three cruise through a summer of humorous mishaps and dangerous misadventures leading to the most consequential decision of Alex’s life, a choice between his best friend and the girl he loves.

All three futures hang in the balance.

Told with wit and tenderness, this story looks back to an era when music and cars matter almost as much as best friends and first love. SUMMER of ‘74 offers timeless insights into love, spirituality, and the path to adult life.
