We are a sing-along, strum-along group of ukulele players with members from Somerville and all over the Greater Boston Area. We pretty much just like to have fun playing music and don't take ourselves too seriously... after all, we are playing ukuleles! Stop by to listen or have some fun with us by singing along... or if you've got a ukulele, bring it with you and jump right in!

Well-chosen covers from the standard rock/pop bible.

THE BIG DRIFT’s earliest roots began about four years ago when Jono Edwards and Noah Kaufman began recording music together. Eventually, they found a bassist in Pat Rooney and a drummer in Noah Stockman. After working hard and earning enough money from their gigs, they put it all towards their one common goal—an album. In September 2011, their debut album “The Big Drift” was finished. The Big Drift present a rock sound with sweet elements of funk, reggae, blues, and even a little bit of country. Their popular tunes satisfy listeners of all kinds, and are sure to get the audience’s heads bobbin’ and feet movin’.

Hevy Sol is a blast from the past as heard through a distorted silver-face amp. This band is what rock and roll should be: raw, unapologetic, and authentic. Fronted by the powerful pipes and bluesy guitar stylings of Ashley Rhodes, complimented by Daniel Johnson's ball-busting bass lines, and backed by Stephen Cramer's groovin' beats, Hevy Sol is genuine rock in a world of programmed beats and auto-tuned vocals. With a strong female front, this band is anything but "girl rock". Our stripped down sound utilizes acoustic guitar and bass with cajon.

We are a cover band of sorts, covering mostly classic rock, alternative rock, and pop - with the possibilities of jazz, r&b, and soul thrown in.

A band that rocks like your favorite iron-on T-shirt.
Band Interests:
Brown, blue, or green-eyed blonds or brunettes in shiny leather (pleather acceptable) pants and/or tight jeans.
Non sequiturs, obscure movie references, inside (but not exclusive) humor, Knob Creek whiskey and wishful thinking.
We might play a set of our original songs, or just improv for an hour – or we might surprise you with a favorite tune.
Hot Knives are on Facebook, Spotify, and iTunes!
Hot Knives:
Jeff Miller: Guitar & Vocals
Joe Sharrino: Drums
Chris Farrell: Bass

The Suitcase Album is a tale of two cities, the product of Greg Ferreira's Fung Wah travels from New York to Boston over the course of a year.
Inspired by the artistic ingenuity of Harry Nilsson, and the concept of making everywhere a recording studio and everyone a musician, Greg gathered friends to record in venues ranging from studios in Brooklyn to living rooms in Somerville.
Suitcase is a minimalist experiment born of a laptop and borrowed gear. Supporting talents include locals Jonathan Keane, Barry Clegg, Ajda Snyder, Alana Sacks and Sky Winchester and New Yorkers Mimi, Nick Colvin Adam Ciminello, and Matt LaVon.
