SUMMARY:Randall Kromm
DESCRIPTION:Suggested donation is $15 at the door. \nA lifelong musician with a background in musical theater\, early music\, and the 1980s Boston indie pop scene\, Randall Kromm reinvented himself as a folksinger in 2009 and soon realized he’d found his musical home.  Playing at coffeehouses\, open mikes\, and clubs in the greater Boston area\, Randall quickly distinguished himself as a songwriter and performer.  In the years since\, he has performed sold-out shows at Club Passim\, New England’s premier folk venue\, released four CDs\, Water Wheel (2011)\, Holidays and Homecomings (2011)\, Time Won’t Let Us Stay (2014)\, and Rough and Polished Stones (2017)\, and received a multitude of accolades from the music community\, including Christine Lavin and Don White. \nRandall is an adherent to the principle of writing what you know\, Randall composing  beautifully crafted songs of ordinary life that focus on themes of family\, relationships\, and growing older with wit and insight.  His most recent CD\, Rough and Polished Stones\, was chosen by Folk DJ Rich Warren of the Midnight Special radio program as “Rich’s pick” for the month of October 2017 and in 2018 received a glowing review in the premier roots music publication No Depression.  The review lauds Randall’s effective songwriting across a variety of genres\, comparing it to the work of Hank Williams and Towns Van Zandt\, and concludes: “Randall is covering a genre that Tom Waits isn’t\, that Leonard Cohen touched upon but never developed\, that Buddy Miller and John Prine do but always seem to pour a little vinegar in.  Kromm pours no whiskey into his tunes. They are just wholeheartedly the truth – the naked truth.” \nA prolific songwriter\, Randall frequently returns to the studio\, often joined by his two oldest daughters\, Emma and Grace\, talented singers in their own right who have a natural gift for harmony.  Randall currently working on a new CD of holiday-themed songs\, Sentimental Season\, due to be released on October 1\, 2018.  Randall also performs regularly at folk venues in and around Boston.

SUMMARY:Stone Soup Coffeehouse Presents Wintesong / Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
DESCRIPTION:We New Englanders have two primary coping mechanisms for wintertime: introspection and celebration. We hole up and reflect on our lives\, and then we let loose and party. Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem’s Wintersong program does both\, swinging from a 15th century carol to fiddle- and percussion-driven New Year’s shouts from the Georgia Sea Islands and Louisiana\, to bluesy and banjo-driven settings of modern songwriters — and then back\, to original settings of verse from Tennyson\, Chesterton\, and Longfellow.\nThere are songs about a baby born in Bethlehem\, including the electric guitar-driven “Let’s Make a Baby King” (by Jesse Winchester)\, a soaring version of the spiritual “Children\, Go Where I Send Thee;” and “Singing in the Land\,” an Appalachian hymn in four-part harmony. There are also songs about love and war\, loss and hope. There are songs about the emptiness of commercial Christmas\, and the fullness of the ideas that brought it to be.\n\nRani Arbo & daisy mayhem’s Wintersong program sidesteps the holiday canon and digs up the power\, beauty and hopeful yearning at the roots of this holiday. These are songs — and musicians —full of fierce poetry and wild joy; this program is their ode to light and dark\, and to the balance of both at the turn of the year.
