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 Wednesday, December 10th we welcome authors Stewart O’Nan and Gish Jen, and musical acts High Tea and Consuelo Candelaria-Barry.

Isabella DeHerdt’s and Isaac Eliot’s songs are ripe with existential angst, weaving tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love. Their previous releases, Scuba Diving, Old Cowboy, and The Wick And The Flame were featured on playlists, radio shows, and numerous publications, while the title track of Old Cowboy led them to be chosen as one of WBUR’s top 4 Massachusetts Tiny Desk entries of 2022. They were nominated for the New England Music Awards Best Americana Act in 2023 and selected to perform in the Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in 2025. Look for their latest album, A Small Notion, coming soon! Gish Jen's work has been included in The Best American Short Stories five times, including in The Best American Short Stories of the Century.
