Somerville&nbsp;Songwriter Sessions at the Armory Cafe&nbsp;presents contemporary folk singer/songwriters in concert on the first&nbsp;Saturday of each&nbsp;month. The Armory Cafe features live music in an&nbsp;intimate setting, a menu featuring sandwiches, soups, desserts and&nbsp;coffees, and plenty of&nbsp;free parking. Our 10/5 performers: New&nbsp;England native&nbsp;Erin&nbsp;Ash Sullivan's&nbsp;music reflects a deep sense of place, and her lyrics—sometimes&nbsp;heartfelt, sometimes funny—are&nbsp;always authentic and drawn from her&nbsp;lived experience. WFUV's John Platt describes Erin as "a special&nbsp;talent that reminds me of early Dar&nbsp;Williams." Erin's 2021 debut&nbsp;solo album,&nbsp;We&nbsp;Can Hear Each Other,&nbsp;reached #10 on the FAI DJ Chart, and she was a 2023 "Most&nbsp;Wanted"&nbsp;selection from the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. She's won&nbsp;the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Competition and the&nbsp;Mark&nbsp;Erelli Judge's Choice Award in the New England Songwriting&nbsp;Competition, and she has been a finalist in the Great American Song&nbsp;Contest and&nbsp;the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Her new album&nbsp;Signposts&nbsp;and Marks&nbsp;debuted in July 2024. More at&nbsp;<a href="https://erinashsullivan.com/" target="_blank">erinashsullivan.com</a>. Colette&nbsp;O'Connor&nbsp;is a New England-based singer, storyteller, songwriter, neoclassical&nbsp;composer, and skilled acoustic guitarist. Her voice&nbsp;combines the&nbsp;richness of folk with the strength of Americana, and the charm of her&nbsp;songs is all in the balance. Her new album,&nbsp;Double&nbsp;Down,&nbsp;was released in summer 2024. Born on San Diego Naval Base in&nbsp;California, Colette came to Massachusetts after her father's tour of&nbsp;duty was&nbsp;over and the family moved back home to start an organic farm&nbsp;in Plympton, MA. Influenced by two coasts, O'Connor's music is a&nbsp;delightful&nbsp;blend of sunshine, kindness, philosophy, and New England&nbsp;wit. Now with three album releases, O'Connor has been touring the&nbsp;country with her&nbsp;music since 2012, and is regularly featured in&nbsp;concerts, community radio and television from New England to&nbsp;Nebraska. More at&nbsp;<a href="https://coletteoconnor.net/" target="_blank">coletteoconnor.net</a>. Beth&nbsp;DeSombre &nbsp;writes songs that are "smart and uplifting...focusing on the&nbsp;quiet meaning to be found in ordinary life" (Sing&nbsp;Out! Magazine),&nbsp;exploring issues from the personal to the political. Her music&nbsp;touches both mind and heart, with insights wrapped in melody and&nbsp;harmony that&nbsp;stay with you after the echoes of the last chorus have&nbsp;faded away. Her newest CD,&nbsp;Holding&nbsp;the Threads,&nbsp;released this summer, is her most&nbsp;personal album to date, telling&nbsp;stories about family, crisis, and finding hope in darkest of times.&nbsp;The first two singles from the album each&nbsp;debuted at #3 on the&nbsp;Folk-DJ chart. Her previous EP,&nbsp;The&nbsp;Sea Beside Us&nbsp;(2023), tells stories of ships and the ocean. Her 2017 EP,&nbsp;Resistance,&nbsp;which was written in response to the political situation after the&nbsp;2016 election, is a fundraiser for the ACLU.
