Description

Writers Reading, and Songwriters Singing. Join us outside at Branch Line for a spooky evening of stories, laughs, and great music. In the spirit(s) of Halloween, Earfull presents FEARFULL, as in: Boo! (not booooo....) where all things scary (but not too scary) and costumes are encouraged (for those inclined)! Please join us OUTSIDE on the Branch Line patio (heaters!) for this special edition featuring everything you love about Earfull: music, stories, food, drink, and your lovely hosts: Tim Huggins & Jen Trynin. About Earfull Since the early 2000’s, Boston musician and author Jen Trynin, and bookstore connoisseur Tim Huggins, have been hosting the Earfull Series, bringing together the worlds of writers and musicians. They prove that, given the right environment, Book People will love the experience of live music, and Rock People will realize how cool it is to hear great authors reading their work aloud.
