American Traditional

Folk, guitar, voice. Succulent, sweet, surprises. Bubbles, hula hoops, chalk.
Also, a jazzy set with a twist of lemon.
Also, sometimes an 80's sing-a-long song on ukulele thrown in, because we're grown ups and we can do what we want.

The Mass Whole Notes are a semi-professional, co-ed, a cappella group which came together in early 2010. Our members are from Somerville, Cambridge, JP, Brookline, Brighton, and Allston. Our current repertoire includes songs by Paul Simon, Adelle, Bruno Mars, Fun., Macklemore, Of Monsters and Men, and Mumford and Sons just to name a few. We like to sing a wide variety of music, and we are passionate about making great music, performing and having fun!

Husband and wife duo performing acoustic Folk and Americana covers...perfect for the Porch, or in this case the backyard (between 31 and 33 Winter St).  So come on by and relax to a few tunes to accompany what should be a great afternoon in Somerville!
