I’ll be playing solo, doing an evening of free “library songs” inspired by literature, including a number of selections from my new album, “fermata,” sparked by Russell Banks, Raymond Carver, Stewart O’Nan and John Steinbeck, as well as by abstracts of historic Albany murders. I’ll also debut some recent tunes created after taking a February deep dive back into the remarkable work of Michael Ondaatje. Reading is fun; libraries are an eternal wonder. And, hey, the Encore Book Shed will be open until 7 p.m!
