When Kristina (formerly Living In Polaroids) moved to Cambridge from New York City, she met Isaiah (also of The Takeaways) and they started playing music together. Then one day, Rosheen fell from the sky and landed in the middle of a Bookends practice session and began to play bodhrán. So they just went with it.

Just a guy with a Hammered Dulcimer, a porch, and a few songs in his head. By no means a pro, but if you've never seen a hammered dulcimer, they're pretty darned cool.

Banjovillian is Somerville resident Julia Poirier and one or more of her banjo-playing friends. Julia plays old-time banjo tunes at a laid-back pace that encourages singing and playing along. This is what music was like before it became a spectator sport. Y'all come on over and set a spell.

Kristina and Joebear met at Emerson College in downtown Boston in 2006 and fell in love with each others' mutual interest in stringed instruments, bearded men, and the sea. Kristina is originally from Leominster, MA and Joebear grew up under the salty sun in Wellfleet, MA. Together they have traveled the USA (to the west coast and back again), and are now continuing their musical adventure in Somerville, MA. You can check out some of their music at the links below:

Hope to see you on the porch!
