Frank Turner is an artist with his heart on his sleeve. It only made sense that the British musician turned to folk music after the end of his hardcore band Million Dead in September 2005. After 1254 shows, he was asked by Trainspotting director Danny Boyle if he would like to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. "The Road Beneath My Feet" tells the story between these dates. It explores themes of aimlessness and the search for a new path, of nights spent partying and moments of clarity. Instead of a conventional autobiography, Turner has chosen a format that suits a constantly touring musician best for this book—his first. "The Road Beneath My Feet" is written in a diary style, with each chapter titled after a specific show. This way, Turner provides insight into his everyday reality on tour and behind the scenes.
