Aberdeen
From the event description:
In 2008, Matt took a job as a forester in the rainy and iconic logging town of Aberdeen, Washington. His new home—a remote and run-down cabin in the woods—was supposed to be the perfect place to reflect and write songs about a recent breakup and the devastating loss of his mother. But things have a way of taking unexpected turns in Aberdeen and it would take almost a decade for those songs, and the stories behind them, to be heard. The 80 minute story unfolds via a one-person performance that is part rock concert, part podcast and part The Twilight Zone. Ages 21 and over.
When: Friday, June 21, 7:30-10 p.m.
Where: Fred Wildlife Refuge, 128 Boylston Ave. East
Price: $22
