    And finally, Tuesday, December 13th Earfull welcomes Anita Diamant and Heidi Pitlor with musiciansDietrich Strause and Lula Wiles.

    The brainchild of Boston Musician and Author Jen Trynin and bookstore connoisseur Tim Huggins,Earfull first launched in the Fall of 2001 with the concept that, given a conducive environment, book people will appreciate being exposed to live music, and rock people will realize how cool it is to hear great authors reading their work aloud! EARFULL aimed to provide that environment, combining prominent author readings with established singer-songwriters in the hopes of broadening the appreciation of and audiences for both. After a brief hiatus from multiple sold-out seasons of the series, the Arsenal Center for the Arts is excited to bring back the beloved programming for a second season to a whole new audience.

    Tickets for the series go on-sale TODAY (October 7th) at 12 noon for just $25 at ArsenalArts.org and will sell out quickly. Limited menu options will be available from our friends at Branch Line.
