EARFULL - Writers Reading. Songwriters Singing.
EARFULL is a performance series featuring writers and musicians doing their respective things in an intimate setting. WRITERS read from their new books, or about-to-be books, or right from their crumpled up notes. MUSICIANS range from harpists to horn blowers, from solo songwriters to full-on rock bands. EARFULL EVENINGS offer food & drink at the venue, and time between acts to socialize. On Tuesday, April 1st, we welcome authors Alison Espach and Meredith Goldstein, and musical acts John Powhida and Nat Freedberg. More about Earfull at https://earfull.org/.
