TURNERS FALLS – Rock composer, lyricist and Northampton native Erin McKeown, who Playbill writes has accomplished “complex and specific lyrics filter through her clarity of melodic line and rebellious use of rhythm,” will be in Turners Falls at the Shea Theater Arts Center on Avenue A on Saturday.
McKeown will be In Song & Conversation with Monte Belmonte beginning at 7 p.m. There will also be a “Hamiton” – the Broadway play – singalong.
