KC Turner presents Gaelynn Lea: It Wasn’t Meant to Be Perfect – a special book release event with live performance, featuring special guest Matt Jaffe, in the Session Room at HopMonk Tavern Novato. Acclaimed musician, author, and NPR Tiny Desk Concert winner Gaelynn Lea shares an evening of music and storytelling celebrating the release of her heartfelt memoir about creativity, resilience, and embracing life’s imperfections. Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Lea developed a unique way of playing violin upright in her wheelchair, launching a remarkable music career while also becoming a passionate advocate for accessibility in the arts. An author signing will follow the performance, with books available for purchase through Copperfield’s Books.
This fully seated, all-ages event will be ASL interpreted, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Visit HopMonk Tavern Novato for tickets and event details.
