A few years ago a certain music editor of the now-defunct Boston Phoenix got laid up for a week at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton, diagnosed with all sorts of crazy shit, like pneumonia, bronchitis, and pulmonary hypertension. During that person’s stay, Boston electro-pop duo Stereo Telescope dropped by to play some songs at his bedside, and it caught the attention of the entire hospital floor. A spontaneous concert broke out, and it brought much-needed joy to all involved.
Now, according to Boston Rock Shop, Brigham & Women’s Faulkner Hospital is providing a similar opportunity for musicians in the area. The Centre Street facility posted a job notice on Indeed that seeks a “trained musician” to provide music for its inpatient psychiatry patients. It’s a paid gig… and as far as we know, there is no “two-week rule.”
Here’s the full posting; apply for more details:
