Art Halperin writes humorous literary fiction that delves into the realms of music, love, cultural influences, and magic. As an award-winning songwriter, producer, and musician, he is recognized as the last artist signed to CBS/Hammond records by John Hammond Sr., the legendary producer and talent scout who discovered numerous icons, including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin.
With his spouse, two daughters, and way too many guitars (including one Stratocaster given to him by Eric Clapton), Art divides his time between New York and the Caribbean.
