Salon Session: The Creative Process

Liz Knowles | Ben Shattuck

Hosted by Maeve Gilchrist

In this hour-long presentation, artist-in-residence Liz Knowles and award-winning author Ben Shattuck talk about how Shattuck’s writing, the New England seascape and existence on the fringes of genre and sound have influenced Knowles’ music-making. These types of intimate conversations are a unique opportunity to dive into the creative process, engage in a Q&A and be ready for a surprise guest or two!
