Tom Perrotta is the author of ten works of fiction, including Election and Little Children, both of which were made into Academy-award nominated films, and The Leftovers and Mrs. Fletcher, which were adapted into acclaimed HBO series. Perrotta’s new novel, Ghost Town, has been published by Scribner and he's very excited (the editor just added that, not Tom). He lives in Belmont and has made several appearances at Earfull over the years. (also true)

Sleepyhead was formed in a basement room at NYU's Brittany dorm in the fall of 1989, by drummer/vocalist Rachael McNally, bassist Mike Galinsky and guitarist/vocalist Chris O’Rourke. They released their first single produced by legendary indie rock producer Kramer in 1991, followed by 4 full length records and touring widely in the ensuing years. The lineup has solidified in more recent years with multi-instrumentalist Derek Van Beever joining in 2004 and playing on their 2022 release Wild Sometimes, and bassist Ani Somusundaram joining in 2022 and playing on their recent single "Hoping That You're Lonely." Just back from a mini-tour with Dambuilders, they join us for the June Earfull series.
