Today on the Fabulous 413, we head back to the Berkshires to read more. The inaugural Berkshires Book Con happens Tomorrow April 18th through a super fun collaboration of local businesses and organizations. We talk with the folx making it happen at the Athenaeum, Pittsfield’s public library and hear about those partners helping to get the community more engrossed in all aspects of books with Librarians Caroline Villarreal and Tom Jorgenson, including their community read of Rules for Ghosting by local author Shelley Jay Shore.
Live Music Friday brings the heartfelt lyrics, deft vocals, and inspired guitar of Liz Longley to the studios. Hot on the release of her latest album “New Life” we hear about the inspirations she draws from the many music scenes she’s been a part of and the influence of motherhood on her work as she readies for a performance tonight, April 17th at the Button Ball Barn in Egremont.
