Somerville Songwriter Sessions at the Armory Cafe presents contemporary folk singer/songwriters in concert on the first Saturday of each month. The Armory Cafe features live music in an intimate setting, a menu featuring sandwiches, soups, desserts and coffees, and plenty of free parking. Our 11/4 performers: If Lenny Bruce and Bill Withers had a lovechild… Award-winning singer/songwriter, performer, satirist, multi-instrumentalist and entertainer Eric Schwartz has been prodding and wooing folk audiences for twenty-five years. From Bleecker Street’s Bitter End to Hollywood’s Improv, from Philly Folk to Falcon Ridge to Kerrville… Eric's songs have been sung by Ronny Cox, Holly Near and Van Dyke Parks, and been played on radio shows as diverse as Bob and Tom’s Morning Show and NPR’s All Things Considered. Eric is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Music Therapy in order to treat those he has traumatized from the stage. More at <a href="https://ericschwartz.com/">ericschwartz.com</a>. Called "one of New England's best songwriters" by The Boston Globe, Terry Kitchen creates songs that are portraits of ordinary people and emotions, captured with extraordinary compassion, honesty and humor. He's been performing on folk stages across the country since the 1990s, releasing a dozen albums filled with literate musical storytelling, supple guitar playing and distinctive, intimate vocals. His 2020 CD Next Time We Meet reached #5 on the national Folk-DJ album chart (with its single "Party on the Roof" reaching #4 on the song chart), and his songs have won the Mid-Atlantic and USA Song Contests and been runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest. In the 1980s he was the leader of the groundbreaking Boston band Loose Ties, whose experiences he recounts in his novel Next Big Thing, called "a great debut novel" by The San Francisco Book Review. He also published a collection of short stores, Coping Mechanisms, in 2020. More on Terry at <a href="http://terrykitchen.com/">terrykitchen.com</a>. Twin sisters Chris &amp; Meredith Thompson are "powerful performers with a natural warmth for the live concert stage" writes Tom Lounges in The Beat. They achieve a vocal harmony known uniquely to siblings, combining effortlessly as two parts of a whole, then emerging as unique individual voices, creating the vocal sound that has become their trademark. Chris plays percussive, riff-driven guitar. Meredith plays congas and flute. The Thompsons tell stories that resonate with the audience, stories that celebrate common experience. The Thompsons have performed in venues across the US and released seven albums. "It is their mix of intriguing stories of people's hopes and histories that makes The Thompsons' music so compelling." (MaryAnn Robertson, Spotlight) More at <a href="https://www.cmthompson.com/">www.cmthompson.com</a>.
