First Church Somerville is a curious, fun-loving, warm, open. Progressive, justice-doing, questioning. Young and young at heart. Boundary-busting community. Just as God made us, and as we are becoming.

A fusion of funk, jazz, and instrumental hip-hop characterize this collaborative group. Expect some guest appearances, and if you've got an instrument, don't be afraid to bring it on by!

Andrew Scandal is a songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts. Scandal finds songs while searching for shiny stones in the river. He is known for his playful spirit, horrible temper, and strange beliefs about the moon. Ross McFadden (synths/noise) and Ben Gworek (drums) bring Andrew's songs to life in 3-D.

Energy, emotion, and relatability quickly became the focus of Red Arlington’s music as he partied his way through college (while maintaining his grades, of course). There was no sense in creating music for others if he didn’t believe it or live it himself. Never taking himself too seriously, Red wants his music to reflect a lighthearted and comical nature similar to that of the environment he lives in. His music encompasses the college experience and what it is to live in our world as a young adult. The catchy hooks and relatable verses can be sung in unison at your next party or provide the background music to the events that are unraveling in front of your beer goggles.
