40 West is an autobiographical journey in some ways and a collective of essays about life and that journey in others. It's two brothers making a reflective and intentional trip to honor and celebrate their late father. Along the way we learn about them, the man they called Dad, and the world around us. Tears, laughter, and thought-provoking messages are peppered throughout. It's nostalgic, forward-looking, and fun - all at the same time.

Listen to the music from the 2020 Road Trip. It's almost like being in the Prius with Bon and Bruce - only warmer, quieter, and with no mile markers blowing by you. Or play it on your own road trip!
