****
Combining a deep fascination for the American story song and brutal lyrical prose with a stunningly thematic and innovative soundscape, the Adam Glasseye & INSECT FABLE create music that is hysterical and always intense. http://reverendglasseye.bandcamp.com/album/the-insect-fable

Sing for your Supper with A Jug of Songs

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

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.
