in the pocket: The Loft, Boston

In our debut episode, we journey to The Loft in Boston, a DIY artist rehearsal and performance space that serves as a sanctuary for experimental sounds. We'll shadow Audrey Ryan, the venue's owner (a talented musician herself), during her preparations and performance for the concert. Additionally, we'll spend time with a group of Boston bohemians and gain insight into the significance and preciousness of this venue in a city that is grappling with the loss of artist spaces.
