Singer-songwriter

The Loft & Boss Organ presents:
4pm: Singer-songwriter Audrey Ryan, an indie rock “one-man-band” multi-instrumentalist, will share the stage with special guest Will Dailey, an acclaimed independent recording and performing artist. His sound has been described as having a rich vintage vibe while having a firm appreciation of AM rock, pop and big hooks.
5pm: Otis Grove is a collective that crosses traditional organ jazz sound with funk, hip-hop, and rock tones. Their music is based in groove and free in improvisation, yet rooted in songwriting and melodic structure. A unique blend of aggressive rock n' roll and high-intensity organ funk that some fans have dubbed their genre 'Runk'

Folk, guitar, voice. Succulent, sweet, surprises. Bubbles, hula hoops, chalk.
Petite person, booming vocals that can stop fixies in their tracks.
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.

Want to hear something? If you request it and I know it? I'll play it.
*Also, though not specifically geared towards kids, people of all ages tend to listen joyfully. I think you'll like it.

Mary P & the Friendly Friends: Each year different friends join Mary on her "forever home" porch on Morrison Ave. This year friends from across the country contributed to a few collaborative videos that we hope will convey some of the spirit, spontaneity, and joyfulness of Porchfest. The set contains mainly sing-along favorites that are all kid-friendly. (It’s generally the stuff you might sing in the woods around a campfire.)

This event is BYO: hula hoops, chalk, bubbles, and lemonade. We’ll definitely be bringing bubbles.

THE LOFT presents Couchfest 2020 from our homes. We had hoped, like everyone else, to be live in Somerville on the loading dock of our building but now we'll play from home live! We'll feature local artists:
Audrey Ryan (www.audreyryan.com) indie rock singer-songwriter, host of Loft Shows in Somerville. 
Ana Karina Dacosta
Helenor (https://www.helenorhelenor.com) you have to hear it to believe it. 

G.W. Mercure is a singer-songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island. 

Christ the King Somerville will be hosting three bands this year! Warsaw, Lauren Pratt, and the CTKS Jam Band. Warsaw is a three-member band whose songs draw from ambient, electronic and rock influences and seek to juxtapose thoughtful lyrics with evocative and lush soundscapes. Lauren Pratt is an award-winning singer/songwriter with Celtic and Southern influences. Her fingerpicking and lulling, melodic voice combine to bring her ballad storytelling to life. The CTKS Jam Band is full of music lovers and is happy to combine those loves into a performance! There will be pop. There will be sing-a-longs. There will be music!

Playing under the moniker "leisure," Ben Parinello has been described as a "one man band" with only an acoustic guitar and his voice. With a repertoire of nearly 40 original songs and 100 covers Ben strives to never play the same set twice. The dynamic range of his voice and the unpredictability of his sets always make for something special for the audience when he performs. 

THE LOFT presents Porchfest 2019 at the Loading Dock of our building located in the alley between our building and Greentown Labs (down the alley from Market Basket, behind Union Press). We'll feature three local artists:
Dan Blakesslee- (www.danblakeslee.com) indie folk singer-songwriter
Audrey Ryan- (www.audreyryan.com) indie rock singer-songwriter
Otis Grove- (www.otisgrove.net) Organ power trio, jazz/jam/funk

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.
