‘Almost Famous,’ ‘Jerry Maguire’ and ‘Say Anything’ Director Cameron Crowe Announces Book Tour in Support of Memoir

Oscar-winning writer and director Cameron Crowe, known for his work on films such as Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire, and Say Anything, is releasing his highly anticipated memoir, The Uncool, via Simon & Schuster, on October 28, 2025. In support of his story, Crowe will embark on a seven-city book tour, beginning on October 29, 2025, at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. 

Each stop will feature an intimate conversation between Crowe and a special guest, including longtime friends, collaborators, and luminaries from his film industry career. After turning in night one in Washington, D.C., Crowe will take his tour to Nashville’s CMA Theater, where he’ll be joined in conversation by Sheryl Crow. From Music City, he’ll take his talk to Chicago on November 1, before taking a break ahead of West Coast appearances.

When the tour resumes on November 13, Crowe will welcome Penny Lane, Almost Famous’ leading lady, Kate Hudson, during his time at San Diego, Calif.’s The Magnolia. Breaking up his Gold State conversations, Crowe will continue support for his memoir in Seattle on Nov. 19, before a two-night return to Southern California, this time at LA’s The Montalban, Nov. 20-21. Ultimately, he will turn in his final dialogue on Nov. 23 at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre. 

“I’ve always loved telling the stories behind the stories,” Crowe said.  “Introducing friends and loved ones to the unforgettable characters and adventures that inspired my journalism and movies has always been a passion. Now coinciding with the 25th anniversary of ‘Almost Famous’ and the release of ‘The Uncool,’ I can’t wait to share those intimate stories and evenings with the audiences who’ve followed my work over the years. It’s not only a privilege, it’ll be a blast.”
