Riding Out Loud

Riding Out Loud is a memoir told through lyrics, photographs, prose, and the strange little collisions that shaped a life.

Part memoir, part art book, part lyric collection, it follows SLAM Dunkle through music, bicycles, flute making, heartbreak, reinvention, and six unforgettable years living in a tiny gatehouse just a few miles from Walden Pond. Along the way, trumpet rides through Concord, odd jobs, creative obsessions, personal wreckage, and moments of ridiculous beauty become pieces of one larger story.

The book moves between humor and hurt, polished reflection and raw fragments—less a conventional autobiography than a scrapbook from inside one person’s head.
