Banjovillian is Somerville resident Julia Poirier and one or more of her banjo-playing friends. Julia plays old-time banjo tunes at a laid-back pace that encourages singing and playing along. This is what music was like before it became a spectator sport. Y'all come on over and set a spell.

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!

Whiskey River is a group of Harvard Divinity School students who share a love for jamming, folk music, and cold beer. Formed about 6 months ago by Zach on guitar and Alethia on violin, they were recently joined by Jack on ukelele and harmonica. You can often hear them playing on Somerville street corners in the early evenings.

Singer/Songwriter Mary Patterson performs songs of her own creation as well as covers from well loved singers such as, Patty Griffin, Kris Delmhorst, and Deb Talan (from the Weepies). Her voice is strong and engaging. She will be accompanied by fellow singer Suzanne, who will share some songs and harmonies. Although not specifically geared towards kids, people of all ages have enjoyed Mary's performances in the past. And if you have a special request, she'd be happy to try it out on the spot!
