Racky Thomas in addition to being a stalwart blues professional on vocals, guitar and harmonica is also well known as an interpreter of past artists – his delivery is authentic and powerful!
Racky has prepared a presentation of the songs of Townes Van Zant and some particularly faithful renditions of Taj Mahal classics which are masterful!
This is truly a “Not to be missed show” that well represents our Club mission of “back to the roots”.
Racky is well known throughout New England and performs regularly in clubs and at major concert venues. He’s Berkeley trained but the blues and folk is ingrained in his soul … come out and discover why he is so popular and enjoy a night of wonderful interpretation that has won him a loyal and ardent following.
The kitchen is open for coffee, tea, water and cookies. The venue is ADA compliant.

Coffeehouse Feature: Fred Meltzer
Fred Meltzer has been performing and recording originals, covers and tribute music for over 40 years. His band Free Range has featured at SSFMC in the past. Fred has played his silly and thoughtful originals for the past several years and his project, Waxy Shellac and The Tasteless Apples, is currently recording their inaugural album “Shelf Life” at Ultrasound Productions in Hanover MA. Looks for it soon on line and in person with a booklet illustrating how all the decades of hits were inspired! Maybe Fred will be inspired to preview a couple at our first coffeehouse of the season!
Opener Fran Araujo and Friends:
Fran Araujo is a musician who has been performing for about 12 years. Her musical roots begin with her paternal grandmother in Ireland. She was influenced in childhood by her parents’ Mitch Miller records, and then was enchanted with the folk music of the 60s’s, especially with the close harmony of popular groups of the time. She appreciates and enjoys performing old time and bluegrass. Fran takes great pleasure in singing and playing with others and believes music is deeply healing.
We also hope you’ll share your Talent at the OPEN MIC!
