Ten Penny Ransom

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

We play songs that we know deep in our bones. Jeff, a master craftsman, lays down a righteous groove. Vocalist Justin bares his fundamentalist Southern soul. Raegan "McC" affirms that music can burn brighter than a thousand suns. Bassist "McG" shares with us glittering moments from his long journey. Guitarist Hilton yearns to find the juicy heart in a song. Together, we wander a smoky musical landscape, telling vivid tales of heat, dust, and dreams.

Hot Molasses

Hot Molasses delivers tunes that pop like the New Pornographers, wink like the Kinks, and bounce like Talking Heads. Named for the great Molasses Flood of 1919, the band consists of Ben Abrams (gtr/bass/keys/vox), Andrew Cohen (bass/grt/vox), Julia Dickinson (vox/keys/perc.), and Pete Kriensky (drums/perc.). Hot Mo's raucous live show will shake your shoes and sweeten your batter, especially on a sunny Somerville afternoon.
