Somerville&nbsp;Songwriter Sessions at the Armory Cafe&nbsp;presents contemporary folk singer/songwriters in concert on the first&nbsp;Saturday of each month. The Armory Cafe features live music in an&nbsp;intimate setting, a menu featuring sandwiches, soups,&nbsp;desserts and&nbsp;coffees, and plenty of free parking. Our 5/3 performers: Dennis&nbsp;Brennan&nbsp;has been a Boston music legend since fronting the bands The Martells&nbsp;and then Push Push in the 1980s.&nbsp;In the 1990s he began a solo career&nbsp;which continues to this day, releasing such landmark albums as&nbsp;Iodine&nbsp;in the Wine,&nbsp;Rule&nbsp;No. #1,&nbsp;and most recently&nbsp;Dennis&nbsp;Brennan and the White Owls – Live from Electric Andyland.&nbsp;His music is Americana in the&nbsp;truest sense, combining Memphis R&amp;B,&nbsp;Bakersfield Country, and Tom Petty jangle, all sung with the complete&nbsp;conviction of&nbsp;someone who's lived every line. Though he often&nbsp;performs with an all-star band, he's just as effective, and even more&nbsp;moving, with just a guitar.

Kemp&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;is a composer, musician, actor and teacher. He taught himself piano&nbsp;and was writing songs at age 14.&nbsp;He has shared stage with such&nbsp;artists as Koko Taylor, Gil Scott-Heron, Taj Mahal, Kandace Springs&nbsp;and Freebo. He&nbsp;has composed for the Alvin Ailey American Dance&nbsp;Theater and Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Kemp partnered&nbsp;with Chad&nbsp;Stokes of Dispatch and The Urban Bush Women Dance in a workshop&nbsp;called “Artists as Activists” at&nbsp;Berklee College of Music. Kemp&nbsp;currently serves on the boards at Passim in Harvard Sq./Cambridge,&nbsp;MA, NERFA&nbsp;(North East Regional Folk Alliance) and is on the advisory&nbsp;board of FARHOF (Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame at&nbsp;The Boch&nbsp;Center, Boston, MA). More at&nbsp;<a href="https://kempharris.band/">kempharris.band</a>. Called&nbsp;"one of New England's best songwriters" by&nbsp;The&nbsp;Boston Globe,&nbsp;Terry&nbsp;Kitchen&nbsp;has been performing on folk&nbsp;stages across the country since the&nbsp;1990s, releasing a dozen albums filled with literate musical&nbsp;storytelling, supple&nbsp;guitar playing and distinctive, intimate vocals.&nbsp;His new CD&nbsp;We&nbsp;All Dream,&nbsp;with its title song written just after the 2024&nbsp;election, offers a&nbsp;hard-won glimmer of hope just when we need it most. His 2020 CD&nbsp;Next&nbsp;Time We Meet&nbsp;reached&nbsp;#5&nbsp;on the national Folk-DJ chart (with its single "Party on the&nbsp;Roof" reaching #4 on the song chart), and his songs have&nbsp;won the&nbsp;Mid-Atlantic and USA Song Contests and been runner-up in the John&nbsp;Lennon Song Contest. His novel&nbsp;Next&nbsp;Big Thing,&nbsp;set in the&nbsp;Boston music scene, was called "a great debut novel" by&nbsp;The&nbsp;San Francisco Book Review&nbsp;and&nbsp;he also authored a short story collection,&nbsp;Coping&nbsp;Mechanisms.&nbsp;He is also currently working on a musical,&nbsp;Once&nbsp;More&nbsp;with Hurt Feelings.&nbsp;More at&nbsp;<a href="https://terrykitchen.com/">terrykitchen.com</a>.
