Lilly Hiatt

Kable House Presents hosts Lilly Hiatt and her band at Central Market, with a special guest to be announced. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee, Hiatt built early momentum with two solo albums before making a wider splash with Trinity Lane in 2017. That release opened doors for shows with John Prine, Margo Price, Drive-By Truckers, and Hiss Golden Messenger, along with festival appearances at Pilgrimage and Luck Reunion. The album drew wide acclaim, with NPR noting its bold, emotionally resonant character and Rolling Stone recognizing it as a unified, defining statement from a rising songwriter. Hiatt followed with Walking Proof in 2020 and Lately in 2021, earning continued praise, including the Boston Herald’s recognition of her gift for direct yet poetic lyrics and Uncut’s view of the work as compelling. Now in its 11th season, Kable House Presents is an independent, volunteer-powered series that brings national touring artists to an intimate listening-room setting. All tickets are general admission, and food and beverages are available for purchase during the show.

Jennifer LaRue

At 1881, evidential medium Jennifer LaRue offers monthly experiences that alternate between two formats. In odd months, she leads an intimate small-group gallery reading, working with the energy in the room to share messages from loved ones, guides, and angels with those present. Seating is intentionally limited to keep the setting personal. In even months, she provides one-on-one private readings that focus on direct connections and messages intended to bring comfort, clarity, validation, and a sense of healing. For current dates, pricing, and registration details, see the Discussions tab. Jennifer practices evidential mediumship, serving as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds and conveying specific memories, personality traits, and other details to help recipients recognize those they love. Her path began with strong childhood intuition and deepened after a pivotal experience with her grandmother, Ga, which inspired her to embrace this calling and study with teachers and mentors. She approaches this work with heart, humility, and integrity, and continues to collaborate closely with Spirit to deliver messages for those on both sides. In addition to these sessions, she is featured at seasonal Open House gatherings at 1881 and teaches Getting Clair, an introductory class on the clairs and intuitive development. Both the gallery and private formats are welcoming to first-timers. Information shared is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended as a binding prediction or professional advice.
