Buffalo author Michael Farrell will
join local singer/songwriter Sara Elizabeth for a Happy Hour event to celebrate
the recent release of Farrell’s new novel, When
the Lights Go Out inside Buffalo’s Mohawk Place (47 E. Mohawk St.) on
December 4 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Farrell’s Buffalo-set novel—which
tells the story of a barroom guitarist and his journey from rock clubs to
familial crisis and rediscovery of music’s revelatory meaning—was officially
released by No Frills/Amelia on November 10. But in collaborating with Elizabeth’s
performance (from 6 to 8 p.m.), Farrell will sign and sell books inside a
reverberating environment which typifies the backdrop of his newest work.
“Many of this novel’s most critical
scenes happen in rock clubs just like Mohawk,” said Farrell, whose first novel,
Running with Buffalo, was released in
2007. “To have its release event there aside the music of Sara Elizabeth is
going to be special.”
Born in Buffalo and raised in
Hamburg, Michael Farrell is a graduate of St. Bonaventure University and earned
an MFA in Creative Writing from Pine Manor College’s Solstice Program. His work
has regularly appeared in numerous publications, including The Buffalo News, Buffalo Spree and The Boston Herald.

| Singer/songwriter Sara Elizabeth |
Sara Elizabeth is a
singer/songwriter, musician, storyteller, and multi-instrumentalist based in
Western New York. A 2012 graduate of the University at Buffalo's Department of
Music, Elizabeth’s musical influences range from The Beatles to Ingrid
Michaelson and The Avett Brothers. According to Sara, she takes “the heart of
folk music, the soul of the blues, the brain of classical, and the energy of
modern indie rock and uses them to tell stories no one has ever heard before.”
This is evident in her trio of original releases, including 2014’s "Be
Well.”
