Featuring Abbie Barrett, Chris Cote (Upper Crust), Good Trouble Brass Band, Linnea Herzog (Linnea's Garden), Linda Twiss-Gioscia, Paul Willis Which Side?: A Protest Music Teach-Out is a concert and discussion series celebrating and exploring protest music. The events will use James Sullivan’s book, <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/which-side-are-you-on-20th-century-american-history-in-100-protest-songs-journalist-james-sullivan/3c07d1ecd5552c14?ean=9780190660307&amp;next=t&amp;next=t" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">Which Side Are You On?</a>: 20th Century American History in 100 Protest Songs, as a starting point for the presentation of songs that ask listeners to consider how music gives voice to resistance, advocacy, and change. While the series will anchor itself to the book, collaborators will also contribute 21st-century music, both originals and covers. The show is scheduled to begin promptly at 8pm Admission is pay-what-you-want, with all proceeds going to the musicians and other direct expenses. Tickets can be reserved, but a reservation does not guarantee entry unless you are in the room by 7:30pm If there are people waiting for entry, reservations will be released starting at that time. If there are any profits after workers are paid, they will be donated to an appropriate non-profit fighting for intellectual freedom in our nation’s courts. This series is produced by Joyce Linehan, Jon Lupfer, and James Sullivan, with the help of many generous friends. Featuring Abbie Barrett, Chris Cote (Upper Crust), Good Trouble Brass Band, Linnea Herzog (Linnea's Garden), Linda Twiss-Gioscia (Roxy and the Crisis), and Paul Willis, each backed by the house band The Paid Protesters — Ed Valauskas (music director). The 90-minute show will also feature commentary by Sullivan, and a short discussion at the end.

The Burren

One of the most influential bands in the history of Irish traditional music, celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary in 2022. Named after an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honour of the Irish god Lugh, the group that Folk Roots magazine once called an “Irish music dream team” was formed from members of some of Ireland’s greatest bands and over the years has proven its mettle time and again, having sold over a quarter of a million records, performed more than 2,000 shows in high-profile concert venues across 36 countries, and collaborated with many notable artists outside the tradition. Two decades ago they ascended to the forefront of contemporary Irish music, and there they’ve remained, a leading voice in the genre and the standard against which others are compared. “…state-of-the-art Irish music as aggressively infectious as you’ll ever hear.” – Dirty Linen (2000) <a href="https://www.lunasamusic.com/" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">https://www.lunasamusic.com/</a>

On Friday, December 19, The Burren in Somerville is host to this beloved holiday tradition that brings together live music with heartfelt giving in support of children currently in foster care in the Greater Boston area. Help spread much needed holiday joy through the collection of new, unwrapped gifts for children ages infant to 18. All donations will be delivered to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) to be shared with families. 🎤Hosted by Boston radio and podcast host, Anngelle Wood (Boston Emissions, Rock &amp; Roll Rumble, and Crime of the Truest Kind podcast), with performances by Gene Dante &amp; The Future Starlets and Lovina Falls. GENE DANTE &amp; THE FUTURE STARLETS🌟Gene Dante has made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to black-tie affairs. With his indie rock rat pack, The Future Starlets, he travels shoulder-to-shoulder with deviants and debutantes, delivering a sound that’s as provocative as it is polished. Beneath the jewel-encrusted façade are lyrics drawn from Dante’s own experiences—crooned with risqué realism and backed by hard rock guitars, cabaret meets arena rock, with a wink and razor-sharp wit. The live ‘Starlets' features Tamora Gooding, Jim Collins, Erik Andersen, Sara Wendell, and Chad Raleigh sitting in for Matt Sullivan. <a href="https://GeneDante.com" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">GeneDante.com</a> LOVINA FALLS🎶Described by The Boston Globe as “joyfully unclassifiable” and “elegant baroque pop drama,” Lovina Falls crafts a lush, genre-defying sound that blends art rock and dark dreampop with indie and post-punk textures. Their music is rich with layered harmonies and a dynamic interplay of electronic and organic instrumentation. Fronted by Valerie Forgione—former vocalist of Boston’s Mistle Thrush—Lovina Falls channels a singular artistic vision. Forgione’s vocals have drawn comparisons to Bat For Lashes, Fiona Apple, and the Cocteau Twins, praised for their emotional depth and ethereal power. The live eight-piece ensemble features fellow Mistle Thrush alumni Alice Lee Scott and Matt Klain, alongside Chuck Ferreira and Erica Mantone and seasoned performers Carrie Ingber (Fade, Chromavoid) and Brenden Cobb. <a href="https://www.lovinafalls.com/" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">www.lovinafalls.com</a> HOW TO GIVE 🎀New, unwrapped gifts for children of all ages to include toys, books, games, coats, hats, mittens, hoodies, personal care items, sporting goods, art supplies, instruments, electronics, and gift cards. 🛒 See the Wonderfund Amazon Wishlist for more. SATELLITE DROP BOX LOCATION 📦For anyone who would like to donate but may not be able to attend, new, unwrapped gifts can be left at Petsi Pies at 285 Beacon St, Somerville, from Friday, December 5 through Friday, December 19.

Session Americana returns to the road in November for an East Coast featuring two new albums recorded earlier this year and bringing their unique brand of original songs, instrument swapping and unbridled joy! SESSION AMERICANA is a Boston based cast of top-shelf players, singers, and writers who tour internationally, taking their own songs plus hundreds more from the American songbook on the road. Whether you catch Session Americana in a rock hall or on a festival stage, you’ll be a part of the intimate, raucous scene these players built years ago with one simple credo—access the joy. A rock band in a teacup or a folk band in a whiskey bottle? Take your pick. From a whisper to a roar the band is constantly swapping instruments, trading off lead vocals and sharing songwriting credits, Session Americana is constantly exploring new collaborations and touring like a band out of time. Looking back, the group has had a natural, almost inevitable evolution from a loose bunch of friends sitting around swapping songs in a bar, to a hot-ticket weekly residency, to a touring collective. Along the way, the band has made nine records (so far), played clubs and festivals across the U.S. and Europe, and developed deep collaborative bonds with a wide community of musicians. Session Americana's diligent avoidance of music business “shoulds” has led the band down a quirky and joyful path through the music world. The result is evident in the musical prowess the players and singers bring to every show. "A raucous and holy thing! … Like, the job is simple— access the joy— and if you can do that, it opens a portal. I’m ever in awe of Session, individually and as a band. They’re so finely in tune with each other, with their audiences. I’m in awe of their bond, their easy laughter, their intuitive musical conversation" — ANAÏS MITCHELL "It's right there in the name for this ultra-gifted, rotating collective of singers and multi-instrumentalists. And sprawl is a good word when it comes to the Bostonbased group's raucous live shows, which were initially built around the community concept of traditional Irish seisiúns. The group… expertly blends&nbsp;vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy&nbsp;but deft fashion.” — ROLLING STONE <a href="https://www.sessionamericana.com/" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">https://www.sessionamericana.com/ </a>

The Honey Steelers are a Lowell-based Americana band playing original tunes and reimagined covers from artists like Ray Charles, John Prine, Ian Tyson, Gene Autry, Pink Martini, Bob Dylan, The Band and The Beatles. They’ll have you stomping your feet one moment and humming a lullaby the next—often while laughing at their on-stage banter. Smart, soulful, and just a bit goofy. Band members include: BOB SEVIGNY - GUITAR, BASS, &amp; VOCALS Bob's been pickin' the guitar and singing in local Northeast bands for more than two decades now. Mostly in the Americana/bluegrass/oldtime styles. He once spent five years driving a tractor trailer around and is fond of the outdoors and fine cheeses. MICKEY ROACHE - PEDAL STEEL, MANDOLIN, GUITAR &amp;VOCALS Never met a guitar he didn’t like. Currently also playing in the Steely Dan coverband, The Nightflies. RISA LAVELLE - KEYBOARDS, OCTAVE MANDOLIN, &amp; VOCALS As a young girl, Risa dreamed of being Carole King’s doppelgänger. With her hands on the keys and her wild curls dancing to the beat, the the stage feels like home. She spent years performing musical theatre in New York City and the Boston Area. She studied music theory and composition at New England Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, and Brown University. Risa also performs as a singer/songwriter and is currently working on her first solo album. HARVEY BAGG - BASS, GUITAR &amp; VOCALS While eschewing both the philosophic epicurean ideal, and the rigors of stoicism, Harvey spends much of his time exploring the neo-Platonic dichotomy. He also plays the bass, guitar, and ukulele. Currently Harvey also plays with The Bagg Boys and in the Bluegrass community in the Boston area. TOM MURRAY - DRUMS Originally from Worcester, MA, Tom got his start with the band Landslide and later moved to Los Angeles, where he played drums, sang, and wrote songs in a great band called "Aileen Quinn and The Leapin' Lizards". Aileen is the twice Golden Globe nominated and multi- platinum selling singer and actor who played "Annie" in the original 1982 movie. He also played drums for 13 years with Grammy nominated hit makers "We Five", who had a million selling hit single "You Were On My Mind". He has recorded drums and vocals on album releases by "Aileen Quinn and The Leapin' Lizards", the band "STAND", "Rattle Ok", "Slavin' Dave and Loose Gravel”, Christopher Burgan, Elizabeth Carlisle and Greg Smith Band. Tom has shared the stage with Duke Levine, Meredith Brookes, "Young Dubliners" co-founder, Paul O'Toole, members of the LA band Venice, Sean Finnegan (Etta James), and many more. <a href="https://thehoneysteelers.com/" target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab." rel="nofollow">https://thehoneysteelers.com</a>
