Taking listeners to a place where Appalachian music and backwoods blues meet in powerful, unexpected combinations, The Tarbox Ramblers have drawn raves from Rolling Stone, All Things Considered and more. The Washington Post calls The Tarbox Ramblers “a force of nature”; The New Yorker says “Between the fiddle, string bass, drums and slide guitar, you won't know what hit you.”

My family and I moved to lovely Somerville from Sweden a year ago. I'm a singer of blues, soul, jazz, folk and gospel. I've been in numerous groups, bands and choirs and regular solo performances with my piano and guitar. The latter will be the set up for Porchfest but I'm also having friends, big and small, to play some numbers. A few of the great musicians I love and whose songs I will cover are Bonnie Riatt, Randy Crawford, U2, Lenny Kravitz and Eva Cassidy. I’m a social worker specialized in children, human rights, multiculturalism and interfaith dialogue. When these passions and community building blends with music and other arts I feel as happy as can be! Hope to see you Saturday.

An artist, an architect, two docs and a software guy, plus a few of their daughters, play their favorite covers from the 60's to the present; some are well-loved songs, some are hidden gems.
