About the Author

Rick Berlin, the queer Boston music legend formerly the frontman of Orchestra Luna, Berlin Airlift, Rick Berlin: The Movie, The Shelly Winters Project, and currently of The Nickel & Dime Band, is known for his zany lyrics and unflinching wit. Exploring boyhood, family relationships, and the dynamic social workings of Boston through the decades, Rick Berlin's work is "uncategorizable...part punk, part, musical theater, part sentimental sap, part wordplay master. Gold" (Amanda Palmer).
