The New Revival Coffeehouse is pleased to present national touring musicians Emma’s Revolution on April 5, 2025.
Known for fearless, truth-telling lyrics and melodies you can’t resist singing, Emma’s Revolution is the dynamic, award-winning activist duo of Pat Humphries & Sandy O. The duo are in their 20th year performing together. Emma’s Revolution’s songs have traveled around the world and have been sung for the Dalai Lama, praised by Pete Seeger and covered by Holly Near.
With one eye on the news, Emma’s Revolution consistently writes songs about critical issues happening in the world and enthusiastically lends their voices to the movements those issues inspire.
As independent artists and queer and non-conforming women, Emma’s Revolution has a national presence among communities, organizations and venues that share the duo’s vision of valuing people over profit, choosing compassion over violence, demanding accountability, and building a more just and sustainable world.
The New York Times praised Emma’s music as “fervent and heart-felt.” Deb Andersen of The Wimmin’s Show, KZUM, described it as “beauty, power and ferocity all mixed together with love and hope.”

The North Reading Community Coffeehouse is proud to present its November Showcase. The performers are Dolores Bourque, Ric Page and Tom Sullivan – the “Side by Each” band, Uri Bourque, Don Gibbs, Torin Nickerson and Maureen Pilot. We have a wide variety of music this month which will make for a very entertaining show. As an aside, one of the things the North Reading Community Coffeehouse has been trying to do for awhile is to get younger performers and we will finally be able to do that as Uri and Torin are both 17 year old high school students and very talented musicians. Torin recently released his his debut album, “Seven O’clock Sessions.” It features six original songs, including “Nowhere Else to Go,” a song originally released as a single July 28, 2023. Each performer will do about a 30 minute set.

Clear-eyed and tough-minded, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl is known for her smart songs, wry wit, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula, Katie is also an internationally touring, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty, soulful voice” (American Songwriter).
In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love, family and body image, grief and joy. “In unsettled times,” says Peter Mulvey, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.”
Opening for Katie will be MICAH JOHN. She is returning to Harmony on the Green after delighting folks last spring when she joined Antje Duvekot. Micah is a Boston-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and singer-songwriter. She plays American Roots Music of several types. Her range includes Old Time songs and tunes, Bluegrass, Folk, Country, and Americana.
An award winning fiddler, Micah has won many fiddle competitions. She has been fortunate to study fiddle with several amazing teachers, including Bronwyn, Bobby Britt, and Bruce Molsky. A graduate of Berklee City Music High School, Micah also plays and studies guitar, and can contribute to a song on mandolin, bass, and clawhammer banjo as well.
