EARFULL is a series of performances combining live author readings and relatively unplugged rock shows. The concept behind EARFULL is that, given a conducive environment, people who usually attend readings will appreciate being exposed to live music, and people who usually go to rock clubs will realize how cool it is to hear great authors reading their work aloud.
