Local singer-songwriter and poet Kahrin Spear is in the midst of writing her sophomore album, Poems from Willow Creek. To give audiences a taste of the release, she'll perform several tunes from it tonight at 7 at the Shoreway. The audience serves as a tribute to her father who wrote a book of poetry titled Poems from Willow Creek but didn't believe it would have any literary impact on the world. "This album is my attempt to help him believe the opposite," says Spear. "I like creating worlds to play in. So, this show will be an immersive experience with music, cinematography, and photography being the primary mediums." Tickets cost $20.
