Americana

Come sing with us! Weather permitting, we'll have a grill, a cooler of drinks, a bunch of chairs, and a nigh-bottomless repertoire. Give us a song (especially one with a good chorus!) and we'll let you partake.

We're a somewhat fluid group of singers and session leaders, founders and organizers of Somerville's monthly pub sing at the Armory and Boston's monthly chantey sing at the USS Constitution Museum. Many of us perform at folk festivals and other events in various configurations. Regulars include: Jeff Keller, Jeremy and Angela Kessler, Lynn Noel, Anabel Graetz, and Lynn Feingold.

A fun loving band that plays awesome tunes. Come and hangout with our band and we'll play some sweet tunes for you. We pull our sound from multiple directions: The Band, Milk Carton Kids, Paul Simon and other Americana artists. Imagine yourself on a beautiful spring day listening to some tuneful and melodic original songs, sipping a beverage, and meeting some fun local people. Come check us out May 16. Cheers!

Boston-based folk rock.

Come one, come all to the Goondocks' annual Porchfest Extravaganza! Music, refreshments, and an overall level of fun so dangerously close to the legal limit that Mayor Curtatone will have to retain a specially appointed brigade of Fun Police on stand-by! We get knocked down, we get up again, you're never gonna keep us down. 2:00 p.m. to ~10:00 p.m with bands from 4:00 to 6:00.

Rock your face off with Poor Everybody (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Poor-Everybody/255644811138780), trip out on ambient rock from Maximum Hackman, and let your dirty hipster side hang out with The Best Ever All-Girl Indie Cover Band Out of Boston!

Quiet Cargo is a two piece folk-americana band in the Boston area consisting of Sophie London and Ethan Blouin.

Inspired by train hopping stories and secondhand luggage.

Americana/Folk with originals by Lucy and covers by the whole group. There will be fiddles, xylophones, voices of all shapes and colors, and guitars too. Lucy does classical music by trade, so be prepared for a bit of Bach at some point. Swing on by, we'll be on the back porch with plenty of room for folks on the lawn.

5 local dudes. All acoustic: guitar, bass, harmonica, percussion, keys, vocals, and mandolin. Playing acoustic roots rock & blues music of yesterday and today. We are the sons of hippies after all... Primary influences include Tom Waits, the Rolling Stones, The Band, Wilco, and the Devil Makes Three.

Drop on by for a good time, great music, amazing company, and some four square. Seriously.

Also, ask us about Herbstalk 2015 (www.herbstalk.org).

See you then!

Versatile multi-instrumentalists Paul Therkelsen (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Mike O’Brien (mandolin, violin, guitar, keyboards), Susanna Doyle (vocals, keyboards) and Nate Ranney (upright bass) spin playful melodies and blend rich three-part harmonies with crisp lyrics. The band’s songs are marked by inventive arrangements that explore luxurious instrumental and vocal layers. Trusting Fate’s straightforward songwriting style and ability to deliver intimate, engaging performances reveal all three members have been inspired by legendary singers, instrumentalists and storytellers such as Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Tom Waits, The Jayhawks and Richard Thompson.
