Somerville Songwriters Taking Center Stage At Armory Cafe
The concert is sponsored by the Somerville Arts Council, which is an organization supported by the Mass Cultural Council. Anna May, Mark Stepakoff, David Thorne Scott, and Sam Bergquist are the four singer-songwriters slated to perform.
"Fall brings a sense of the importance of bonding together with others in a cozy environment, with good food, drink, laughs, and most importantly, music," Thorne Scott said. "Songwriters in the Round at Arts at the Armory will give you that nagging need you have in the middle of your heart to hunker down with your fellow humans."
Thorne Scott is a long-time Somerville resident who was a driving force behind making the event a reality. His primary music styles are jazz and Americana.
May is a Connecticut native who sings "tragic alternative Americana." Stepakoff was won multiple songwriting awards for his folk-style creations. Bergquist is Boston-born, and his guitar talent adds an additional layer to his performance. He was formerly the frontman for Loose Change, a country/blues band that played frequent gigs at local clubs such as Johnny D's Uptown Lounge and the original House of Blues.
