Picture it: A storyteller. A band. An evening of mongrel sorrow, dappled by magic and wonder, fringed with regard for the gift of the tongue, harkening and hortatory and bardic and greying, steeped in mortal mystery. What would you call such a thing? Nights of Grief & Mystery.
This concert is part of Reimagine End of Life – a citywide event exploring big questions about life and death. Join Stephen and Gregory + the Band and all of San Francisco for this week of creativity and conversation from April 16-22, 2018. Let’s Reimagine link – www.letsreimagine.org letsremagine facebook

NOTE Stephen will be offering a Die Wise talk at the Swedish American Hall on Saturday April 21st (2-4pm) – ticket link: https://letsreimagine. org/san-francisco/schedule/ all?event2=247
Die Wise, is Stephen’s award-winning book about grief, and dying, and the great love of life. He brings teachings of the ramshackling kind, about honour and grace under pressure, about elderhood in an age of age-intolerance, about the withering World Tree, about how we might learn our darkening times.
This will be a concert of sorts, because he has Gregory Hoskins and Band to lend their music and road-tested grace to the cause. This evening will be part poetry, part lamentation, part book reading, part ribaldry, part lifting the mortal veil and learning the mysteries there; that’s what’s in store.
