Short Cuts - Bushwick Book Club Oakland: opening for all headliners of 2026

BABF Short Cuts is a Podcast of the Bay Area Book Festival where we introduce some of the authors and partners who will join us for the 2026 Festival in Berkeley from May 29–May 31.  Bushwick Book Club Oakland (BBCO) is a community event series co-produced by Claire Calderón, Nikki Bonsol, and Mia Pixley where Bay Area musicians from a wide range of genres compose and debut brand new original songs inspired by books. They will contribute to the Bay Area Book festival by opening up each headline event with a specially composed song inspired by the headliners.  find our more about BBCO on their instagram, https://www.instagram.com/bushwickbookcluboakland You can find more 2026 festival authors and upcoming events at www.baybookfest.org.  Please support our work! https://givebutter.com/writingthefuture
