In addition, The Town and The City Festival will host a special edition of EARFULL, the popular performance series featuring writers and musicians doing their respective things in an intimate setting. Writers read from their new books, or works-in-progress , or right from their crumpled up notes. Musicians have ranged from harpists to sitarists, from solo songwriters to full-on rock bands.

The festival takes place in event spaces, bars, cafes, and galleries throughout downtown Lowell including Lala Books (for a nod to the literary theme), Zorba Music Hall, Warp & Weft, The Luna Theater (at Mill No. 5), Academic Arts Center, Gallery Z, Smokehouse Tavern, The Old Court, The Purple Carrot Bread Co., The Worthen Cafe, and Brew’d Awakening.

The Town and The City Festival is inspired by the creativity and exploration for which the author was so famously known and will present a diverse mix of musical genres and artistic disciplines to inspire discovery and to celebrate a love of life.
