Friday Night, May 29 at 8:00pm

A night of powerful, original music presented in
Center Portion's intimate theater space.

Its A Girl
featuring muscians: Jason McInnes, Lindsay Weinberg, Miki Greenberg, Elizabeth Breen.

This music is joyous, generous, and genreless. 4 voices, piano, banjo, ukulele, acoustic guitar, 2 oboes and other surprises in a burst of original energy that leaves the cup half full.

"It's A Girl" is like a combination of 60's Brit Pop, Steven Sondheim, Yonder Mountain String Band, They Might Be Giants, and the B-52s."
-Emily Hurd and Aerin Tedesco

Aerin Tedesco
Often heard at the Old Town School of Folk Music, this will be a rare solo performance for Aerin away from Congress Of Starlings.

Aerin's songs and voice are soaring, powerful musical manifestations of an experienced heart and a quicksilver mind.

About Center Portion


Center Portion is a salon space that Sheila Donohue and her husband, Gregory Scott have created as a part their home. Center Portion is completely not-for-profit and donations are used for direct support of the artists and activists who present their ideas. Sheila Donohue is a nationally recognized performance poet, who has read her original work for audiences over the past 20 years. Center Portion was born from the vision of writers who present their own work, thinkers who present ideas, and for musicians who value the intimate listening experience.

The Space


The visual area is arranged like a traditional gallery for the display of paintings, sculpture and visual objects. The stage area is configured for poetry, story telling and music. The visual area is arranged like a traditional gallery for the display of paintings, sculpture and visual objects. The stage area is configured for poetry, story telling and music. The attached garden (hidden from busy Fullerton Ave.) is home to the "Celtic ring"--a stone creation that is intended to bring forth spirit of the ancient Celts, who with their strong oratory traditions often created recessed stone circular areas for poetry, story and political discourse.
