Stephin Merritt (of the Magnetic Fields)

July 24, 2015

Front man of the Magnetic Fields (69 Love Songs) and resident of Hudson, Stephin Merritt is recognized the world over for his deep voice and dry wit, juxtaposing bouncy, electro-dance pop with his signature poetic lyrics. Marking his Spiegeltent debut, this is a can’t-miss intimate evening with one of indie music’s greatest songwriters, the “Cole Porter of his generation” (Time Out NY).
