Rock

A collaboration of folk/bluegrass/americana/rock musicians in the area come together to participate in just another event that makes Somerville a magical place to live. In years past we have had talent from the following bands: Della Mae, Billy Wylder, The Surviving Kenneallys, Girls Guns and Glory, Heartbeat, Three Tall Pines, Creek River, The Barnyard Birds, and The South East Express Way. Time will tell who will be in town, but as usual, it will be a good old fun time.

Jerry Powers - lead vocals and bass

Happy Little Clouds is not all fluffy marshmellows and rainbows. This 3-member indie rock band sends a surprise shock wave to your nerves to create songs that will stick with you rain or shine. Happy Little Clouds is the ultimate hybrid indie band that combines a familiar, edgy rock base with soulful, sometimes bluesy female vocals, crunchy guitar and bouncy rhythms. Catchy songwriting interwoven with relevant grooves creates melodies that get stuck in your head real good.

Boston-based indie rock band, Happy Little Clouds, began playing in 2010 with Jac Mestel on lead vox & guitar and Alex Toorish on drums. New bassist Kelly Vaden joined in early 2014.

Elvis's attitude, the Everly's harmonies, Carl Perkins's hooks, Bo Diddley's humor, Link Wray's waling solos, LIttle Richard's boundless energy, Sam Cooke's smoothness and behind everything that driving rhythm that makes you get out of your chair to swing and stomp. We like to say we combine all these elements! Four musicians who came together through a common love of early rock and roll, we are inspired by the music of the time of Sun and Chess.
