CHELSEA BERRY
Chelsea Berry is a singer/songwriter with incredible edge, power, and finesse. Her presence has been described by listeners as “compelling… she draws the entire house into her world like moths to a flame.” Born and raised in Alaska, she now makes her home on Boston’s North Shore. A favorite among venue owners up and down the East coast, Chelsea’s commanding stage presence and energetic rock/folk/pop sound has begun bringing her across the U.S. as regular support for Livingston Taylor as well as headliner of her own shows from California to Washington, Minneapolis, New York, and everywhere in between. Along with her solo shows, Chelsea frequently supports artists such as Chris Isaak, Jonathan Edwards, Jon Butcher, Chris Smither, Cheryl Wheeler, Marshall Crenshaw, Patty Larkin, and many others. Over her career, Berry has released four full length records (and one EP), including her most recent–2014’s acclaimed Remedy.

A HOLIDAY GUITAR CONCERT
courtesy photo
Fingerstyle guitarist Ken Bonfield has performed throughout the United States for more than 20 years. Based in Gloucester, Bonfield is a regular at guitar festivals, concert series, and acoustic venues across North America, and has released seven albums.
“Ken Bonfield’s instrumental guitar work patently avoids the incessant noodling… instead melody is king and Bonfield’s gifted fingers flesh out a beautiful cavalcade of notes that are at times reminiscent of a human voice singing and often soaring.” –Frank Rabey, Mountain Xpress
In his open-hearted, welcoming concerts, workshops and master classes, he shares new guitar dimensions and sonic explorations with his listeners. His compositions are performed with his unique “chamber ensemble” of handcrafted instruments ranging from baritone guitar to an 11-string harp guitar to a high-string guitar which Bonfield likens to a 6-string, Steel-String ukulele.
Join us for this all-ages holiday get-together, where Ken will be joined by fellow renowned guitarist Raymond Gonzalez performing holiday favorites and s00n-to-be-favorites in our comfortable and inviting living-room-style venue.

He’s bringing along that nun-eating master of the qatar, Mr. Mike DiBari and the world’s foremost dribbler and fontman, Mr. Ed “Ed” Scheer to boot. Could be my ultimate agglomeration. I love working with these guys and I promise I’ll be better next year. Honest! Really, don’t miss this one!

Charting # 5 on the top 100 Reggae albums on iTunes and #8 on The Billboards, SRP’s first two albums have grown the band quite the reputation as amazing writers, rooted in Rock Reggae Jam. SRP has also been noted to have something that not all bands can master, the art of putting on high energy, dance your face off shows, with a one love mentality…that simply radiates throughout the crowd. SRP is a top-professional band hailing from Boston MA, with their unique Pulsating Drum and Bass rhythms and heavily decorated melodies, played by some of the top musicians in all of New England. (A cross between Collie Buddz, Rebelution and Matisyahu ~Rich Parara, Ingenious Concepts).

Come and hear The Heather Pierson Quartet perform music from A Charlie Brown Christmas and other jazzy Christmas favorites this Saturday evening, December 12, at 7:30. One of the most endearing Christmas tales ever told, A Charlie Brown Christmas has proven to be an enduring classic. The musical score for A Charlie Brown Christmas, composed by the late Vince Guaraldi, is just as poignant and touching as the story and includes the hugely popular hit “Linus and Lucy”. Here’s a video of a performance of My Little Drum at Amazing Things Arts Center in Framingham two Christmases ago.
