This program
features acoustic artist Everything in Pen (Elizabeth Hubbard) and her favorite
song topic—books. Combining the pop sensibility of Big Star and the off-beat
narrative observations of Jonathan Richman, Everything in Pen’s songs cover a
vast array of topics and authors---war criminals, sexism, post office closures,
Dave Eggers, Richard Yates, Barbara Kingsolver and Robert McNamara--through her
unique lens as an obsessive reader. She sings the things you won’t say
aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost
unbearable humanness of us all. This show will include a brief
explanation about each song’s connection to the book and time at the end to
answer questions about songwriting. When not
surrounded by books and a guitar, Elizabeth is navigating her complicated
relationship with little dogs and plotting the demise of lined
paper. Hear more at www.everythinginpen.com
