A “somewhat successful Swedish singer-songwriter” turned accidental wedding singer keeps the songwriting juices flowing by composing an original song for each couple’s nuptials—all while attempting to manage his own complicated love life. That’s the premise of award-winning YA novelist David Levithan’s second novel for adults, Songs for Other People’s Weddings. And who better to collaborate on this inventive meditation on love and loss than one of Sweden’s most successful singer-songwriters, Jens Lekman? Join Jens and David, along with emcee Andrew Sean Greer, for an unforgettable evening of story and song: part concert, part conversation, part celebration of shared creativity and the bittersweet nature of romantic love. Doors at 7:00. $20 adv / $25 door
