Original Music inspired by Tara Westover's Educated

Tara Westover’s riveting, bestselling memoir of discovery and independence took the entire world by storm – now, it becomes a well of inspiration for artists in a night of original music.

“This story, remarkable as it is, might be merely another entry in the subgenre of extreme American life, were it not for the uncommon perceptiveness of the person telling it. Westover examines her childhood with unsparing clarity, and, more startlingly, with curiosity and love.” – The New Yorker

Featuring new songs by Reggie Garrett, Arthur James, Nottingham/Wicks, Tom Rorem, Sam Russell, Mike Spine, Kym Tuvim, Grae Violet, Wes Weddell & host Amanda Winterhalter.

The Bushwick Book Club Seattle announces its tenth season presenting concerts that feature original music inspired by literature. Each event showcases a lineup of local, professional musicians and artists each offering a fresh response to that evening’s source text along with extras like an audience quiz, short film, or scholarly introduction.
