Email: ticketoffice@chq.org
The balance of darkness and light is at the heart of Kingdom In My Mind, The Woods Brothers’ seventh studio release and their most spontaneous and experimental collection yet. Recorded over a series of freewheeling, improvised sessions, the record is a reckoning with circumstance, mortality, and human nature, one that finds strength in accepting what lies beyond our control. Thoughtfully honing in on the bittersweet beauty that underlies our doubt and pain, the songs grapple with the power of our external surroundings to shape our internal worlds (and vice versa) and the lyrics dig deep here. They look at how we deal with our dreams and our regrets and our fears and our loves. They look at the stories we tell ourselves and the ways we balance the darkness and the light.”

As a staff reporter for The New York Times, Sarah Maslin Nir covers breaking news for the paper’s Metro section. She was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for her investigation into New York City’s nail salon industry that documented the exploitative labor practices and health issues manicurists face. Before becoming a staff member, Ms. Nir traveled to the Alaskan wilderness in search of people who prefer to live in isolation, and to post-earthquake Haiti. Following the live conversation will be an audience Q&A and book signing with the author!
