Our 9/13 performers: Originally from Boston, Jen Kearney has spent some time seasoning her particular style of original music. Her sound is an amalgamation of Soul, R&amp;B, Funk, Rock, and Latin. Kearney’s music and attention to lyrics have met critical acclaim nationally and internationally. Her latest album&nbsp;Gas Station Poet&nbsp;was listed as one of WBUR's favorite albums of 2025. She is a two-time New England Music Award nominee for soul/r&amp;b act of the year, and has shared the stage with such luminaries as Maceo Parker, Los Lobos, Daryl Hall and Mavis Staples. "Jen Kearney is a gifted singer who can belt out a song with the best of them. She puts a refreshing new spin on funk music with thoughtfully conceived lyrics… simply mesmerizing." -Steve Morse (Billboard/Rolling Stone). More on Jen at&nbsp;<a href="https://jenkearney.com/">https://jenkearney.com</a>. Sam Newcomer&nbsp;is a singer-songwriter and children's musician based in Roslindale. He writes observational, heartfelt songs that dig into the everyday, pulling from influences like Carole King, Bill Withers, Josh Ritter, and Kasey Musgraves. Seeing Sam perform, it's hard not to catch his passion and positive energy, and it's also not uncommon for him to tuck classic children's songs, Disney favorites, or sing-a-long pride anthems into his sets! He released his debut EP&nbsp;Homecoming&nbsp;in 2025. More on Sam at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.samnewcomermusic.com/">https://www.samnewcomermusic.com</a>. Cambridge-based smartass troubadour&nbsp;Sam Bayer&nbsp;is your literate, exuberant guide to an imaginary world where housewives win the Nobel Prize in physics, poker-playing children gamble over their bedtimes, and metaphorical elephants pirouette in the den, four and a half minutes at a time. His latest studio CD,&nbsp;Bad Apple, brings 11 gems from his universe to yours. More on Sam at&nbsp;<a href="https://sambayer.com/">https://sambayer.com</a>.
