I’m playing a Benefit show for one my favorite Independent Book Stores, East West Bookshop in Seattle on Sat. Nov 3rd! Tickets: https://bit.ly/2DjanvG

This will be an intimate “Living Room” style show at the bookshop, with no PA system and very limited seating. I will be playing a special set list with songs inspired by books, poems, and short stories I’ve read over the years. Hope you can make it out to help support this amazing independent local bookstore!
