John Darnielle

When: Thu., March 30, 8 p.m. 2017

Darnielle’s band, The Mountain Goats, have gone through various iterations from ferocious folk punk to literate layered compositions which border on jazz. Darnielle’s ominous yet empathetic outlook carries over to his other career as a writer. His first novel, Wolf in White Van, was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Award nominee. He will be reading from his newest, Universal Harvester, which makes small town Iowa seem creepy as hell.
