HAPPY ENDING MUSIC AND READING SERIES
feat Author Patrick Somerville, musical guest Dawn Landes & more TBA

Wednesday, December 8 at 7:00 PM; $15

The consistently sold out, Happy Ending Music and Reading Series, chosen by New York Magazine and NY Press as the best reading series in NYC, and singled out by the New York Times Magazine for helping to "Keep downtown alive," features the most interesting storytellers, writers, musicians, raconteurs and personalities, and requires the readers to take one public risk, while the musicians, who perform two short sets with their original, lyric-driven music, are required to play one cover song and try to get the audience to sing along. Called the "most vital authors' series in the city," by Time Out NY, and known for its consistently good taste, Happy Ending has launched careers and proudly, ended none.

KEREN ANN

Wednesday, December 8 & Thursday, December 9 at 9:30 PM; $15

"Remarkable. Few can manage this level of confidence and mystique. Possessed of a voice as ethereal as a cloud of Gauloises smoke, she conveys both intimacy and world-weary resignation" - British magazine Q on her 2007 album Keren Ann

"Keren Ann has the X-Factor that transcends the breathy stereotype...she continues to find ways of turning out exquisitely sultry torch-folk" - The Observer

"Keren Ann reveals the assurance of a fully developed artist... Zeidel's compositions are becoming increasingly elaborate, such as the gentle, six-minute masterpiece "Liberty," which culminates in heavenly choral vocals... " - Time Out New York

"Keren Ann has continued to carve out a reputation as one of the more prodigious singer-songwriters of the past decade... Her new self- titled album is another stunner." - CMJ New Music Monthly
