TICKETS + INFORMATION

Michael Hearst bills himself as writing children’s music. But what he really writes is semi-classical chamber pop of enormous charm and appeal.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, it’s the weekend: you can be at Reyes Deli & Grocery when they serve their barbacoa and goat stew tacos and their tamales! Streaming at home (assuming you’re not a child), have the favorite cocktail of someone named child (prenom Julia), the Upside-Down Martini: pour 3/4 oz. Gin and 3-3/4 oz. dry Vermouth into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe (and it better be a big-ass one with that much liquid). Garnish with a lemon twist.
