Uncle Scotchy Talks Blues, Memoir Caregiving | The Miami Book Hub Ep. 39
Oct 23, 2026
Miami blues musician and author Eric “Uncle Scotchy” Garcia joins host J. Adrian Betancourt on Episode 39 of The Miami Book Hub for a moving conversation about music, storytelling and the experiences behind his memoir, Uncle Scotchy The Time Thief.
Known for his solo performances and his band
Juke, Garcia shares how caring for his parents shaped his writing and music. He discusses his mother’s early-onset Alzheimer’s, the emotional demands of caregiving, and how those experiences inspired The Blues Opera and eventually his book.
With a live harmonica performance and a personal reading from his memoir, Garcia brings humor, vulnerability and distinctly Miami memories to a conversation about family, loss and finding ways to connect through art.
