SheBoom

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

Somerville's first post-menopausal percussion and vocal ensemble.
NOTE: WE'LL BE PLAYING FROM 12:15 to 1:00!

SheBoom began in January, 2010 as a Brazilian drumming class that was meant to last four weeks. Four weeks turned into a few months, then stretched out over the summer and beyond. We meet once a week to compose, practice, and learn new rhythms and beats from our teacher, master Brazilian drummer Marcus Santos. Our compositions are mash-ups of the music that has been a big part of our lives, and all our compositions are a collaborative effort. Among us are activists, artists, educators, writers, fundraisers, and entrepreneurs. But drumming is what we really like to do.

Somerville Symphony Orkestar

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Blossoming Somerville, MA, the Somerville Symphony Orkestar is a gypsy-punk band. After releasing their first album in 2011, the band has performed on WERS, the ArtBeat Festival, and Boston's First night. Raised by gypsy badgers, Joel Edinberg founded the SSO after meeting guitarist and space cowboy Travis Pullman, along with Richey Talley. After searching the Siberian wilderness for the finest musicians, they met up with Gabriel Solomon, Pete Fanelli, and Matt Ellis. With their powers combined, the SSO beats Balkan, Klezmer, and Rock music into a funk-punky pulp. Six-piece arrangements reign in the chaos only to explode into equal parts mosh-pit and horah.
