    THE ISLINGTON HOUSE'S LAST SHOW EVER! WE'RE ALL MOVING AWAY FROM BOSTON! THIS SHOW HAS TO BE HUGE!
    Monday, August 16
    7PM
    Islington House Showspace
    3 Islington Terrace
    Allston, MA

    MIDTOWN DICKENS - Midtown Dickens began as a ragtag, learn-while-you-play duo of best friends Kym Register and Catherine Edgerton. The project was born in the post-industrial blues town of Durham, NC when the pair began collecting orphaned instruments from generous friends and back alley dumpsters. Eager to include more friends in the project, the pair rallied a DIT (Do-It-Together) front-porch collective of players who shared instruments such as the banjo, accordion, musical saw, trumpet, trombone, guitar, drums, mandolin, upright bass, harmonica, glockenspiel, spoons, and whatever else was lying around.
