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.

SUMMARY:Mark Erelli ** SOLD OUT **
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for youth age 18 and under. The suggested contribution at the door is $25 for adults\, $5 for juniors\, and $50 for families. \nMark Erelli turns adversity into finely embroidered rock songs that burn with urgency on his 2023 album Lay Your Darkness Down. Following full-bodied rock forebears Tom Petty\, George Harrison\, and Roy Orbison\, Erelli’s songwriting explores the unknown glories of this planet and love’s transformational power. Over his two decade-long career\, the singer-songwriter-sideman-producer-writer has proven himself equally at home in a multitude of roles: producing albums for artists like GRAMMY-winner Lori McKenna; serving as a sideman guitarist for artists like Paula Cole\, Marc Cohn\, and Josh Ritter; writing and producing his own material\, like 2018’s “By Degrees\,” for which he was nominated for Song of the Year at the Americana Honors and Awards; and most recently\, becoming an advocate for low-vision artists and working with venues to make their spaces more accessible. Written in the wake of his diagnosis with a degenerative retinal disease\, Erelli’s upcoming 2023 album Lay Your Darkness Down is the next step on Erelli’s journey\, following up on 2020’s Blindsided\, which garnered praise from Rolling Stone Country\, the Associated Press\, NPR\, The Boston Globe\, and more.

SUMMARY:Mike Agranoff House Concert
DESCRIPTION:Roslindale\, MA (Address will be provided when you make your reservation.) \nReservations are required: send email to HouseConcerts@fssgb.org. $20 at the door (cash) – $5 for students. \nIf you’ve been around the folk scene\, you couldn’t miss seeing Mike. Tall\, ginger beard\, and always around where the music is. He’s been on the scene for many many years\, listening to the fine details of what makes this genre of music so special to the soul\, so able to make us laugh and cry and think. And lucky for us all\, he got serious about having fun at it. \nLess a singer-songwriter than a singer-songfinder\, Mike takes great delight in discovering the little-known hidden gems\, polishing them with his own distinctive style\, and bringing them to the light of day where they sparkle. He will shift from beautifully contemplative\, to uproariously funny\, to instrumentally brilliant\, to powerfully emotional in the space of a few minutes. Equally at home in the contemporary and traditional camps of the Folk world\, he is a fine musician and storyteller. His prime instrument is the guitar\, upon which he shines with intricate fingerstyle arrangements of anything from Tin Pan Alley tunes of the ’20s to fiddle tunes to his own music. He also plays concertina\, piano\, banjo\, or sings acapella. The man will capture your attention\, and then your heart. \nNot only a performer\, Mike is involved in presenting folk music as well. He is one of the prime movers of The Folk Project\, New Jersey’s oldest and strongest folk music organization. For over two decades he has been chairman of that organization’s Minstrel Coffeehouse\, one of the longest lived and most respected folk venues in the country. \nCheck the website\, www.fssgb.org\, or email info@fssgb.org\, if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Songwriters in the Round: Sumner\, Levine\, and LaVancher at Linden Tree
DESCRIPTION:Linden Tree Concerts presents:  Songwriters in the Round: \nRachel Sumner\, Susan Levine\, and Chris LaVancher \nSaturday\, Feb. 3\, 2024 at 7:30 pm \nLinden Tree Concerts is excited to present three Songwriters in the Round on Saturday\, February 3.  This year’s trio are Rachel Sumner\, Susan Levine\, and Chris LaVancher.  In the Round is a great format for performers to showcase their talents while interacting with each other on stage.  Often planned set lists are forgotten as other songs they’ve written will complement songs the others have sung. Audiences will enjoy their song choices\, musicianship\, and overall an evening of live music. \nRachel Sumner has been praised for her powerful\, lonesome voice and haunting songs. She carefully spins melodies that get caught in your head and delivers them “with an attitude and drive in her guitar playing…sure to strike a chord and dig deep into your heart. ” (Red Line Roots) Rachel may be best known as the former guitarist and singer-songwriter from bluegrass string phenom Twisted Pine\, but it is in her recent venture as a solo artist that she is beginning to be fully recognized as a writer and performer. Whether she’s fronting her new band of lush\, low-voiced strings or appearing with only a guitar\, audiences will be mesmerized by her elegantly intricate arrangements and captivated by the delivery of each and every word.. Rachel is both a Willie Nelson and a Patsy Cline of indie-folk – writing the heartfelt but catchy songs and conveying their emotional complexity with candor and an achingly beautiful yodel. And it is her diverse love of pop\, classical\, country and everything in between that she draws upon to synthesize into her own unique sound. Rachel’s songs have been critically acclaimed\, winning the Lennon Award in the folk category of the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her song “Radium Girls.”WBUR/NPR has chosen her three consecutive  years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in the Tiny Desk Competition. rachelsumnermusic.com \nSusan Levine is a writer of well crafted songs.You might not find a straight-out love song in Susan Levine’s music\, but you will find honest songs about the complexity of modern-day relationships\, including the challenges and joys of single motherhood\, the ambivalence of finding new love after heartbreak\, and the search for grace in the smallest moments. Susan explores the emotional terrain of love\, loss and hope with a poetic blend of folk\, Americana\, pop and country\, and a voice that has garnered comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. Since the release of her solo cd\, “Atlas”(2007) – described in the Boston Herald as “That rare album where a whole mind and heart are revealed” – Susan has not stopped writing or performing. Through a painful divorce\, single motherhood of two young boys\, her “day job” as a music therapist\, and performing and recording as one half of Americana duo\, The Lied To’s\, with singer-songwriter\, Doug Kwartler\, music has remained her constant\, her way of processing and experiences and stories. Susan over the past 20 years is frequently nominated for her songwriting. Susan’s song “Time” (on The Lied To’s new record\, The Worst Kind of New) was chosen as a top 5 winner for Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting in the Great American Song Contest!  susanjlevine.com \nChris LaVancher will host the evening as well as participate with his repertoire of great songs he has written from his three albums. Chris’s performance evokes a mini-movie festival in your head\, complete with a full soundtrack. He writes cinematic\, character-driven songs.  His song Nostalgia from his second album\, Big Fat Love\, received an honorable mention in the 2018 Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Contest.  In 2023 and 2014 Chris was selected as a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist.  He was also selected for the Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase at the North East Regional Folk Alliance. His third full-length album in November 2021 –  “After The Flood” is a collection of songs full of heart from a seasoned and skilled craftsman mining life’s subject matter  – family\, work\, love and love lost\, childhood memories\, and finding one’s place in the universe. Much of his inspiration comes from his growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania. chrislavanchermusic.com \nTickets for this show will be $25\, for those under 18 are $10. WUMB members receive a $2 discount with their membership card. We accept cash or personal check at the door.  Reservations are recommended by calling 781 246 2836.

SUMMARY:Rhode Island Songwriters Association Showcase at Stone Soup Coffeehouse
DESCRIPTION:RISA encourages\, fosters and conducts the art and craft of original lyrical and musical composition; provides educational programs\, critique sessions and performance opportunities for all artistic styles; and supports open collaboration within the RISA community. The organization was founded in 1993 by a small group of individuals dedicated to the art of songwriting. As interest in the group grew\, so did the RISA membership. With growth came visibility and a broader mission – to establish a songwriting community that would not only nurture Rhode Island and Southeastern New England songwriters\, but showcase their many talents as writers\, musicians and performers. This evening’s performers will include Mike Laureanno\, Katherine Quinn\, Maddie Cardoza\, Dean Petrella\, Scott Lewis\, and Tammy Laforest.
