Rick Drost writes and sings songs with depth and heart, songs that repay repeated listening and convey a long love of classical music, natural wonders and poetry. His songs treat life from varied angles: jilted lovers, swans in the Public Garden, leftover lobsters and meditations on meditation. Longtime inspiration came from Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen; recent influences include Vance Gilbert and David Wilcox, who covers Drost’s song “Turning the World” in live performances. Drost’s latest CD, “Turning the World,” continues to get airplay from Europe across America to New Zealand.

Listening and playing the folk and protest music of the 60s inspired him to begin writing his own songs. Evans has a way with words and melodies, bringing them together in pleasant and poignant combinations that make you want to tap your feet and sing along. His music is an intriguing blend of folk, folk rock and ballads, lyrically rich in emotional content and melodically comfortable like a favorite jacket, like a close friend you want to sing along with. Mark relocated north of Boston, Mass., in the early 90s and today considers himself a “Noreasta.” John Ferullo is a songwriter and open mike host from Maspassages, which are designed to supply comfort to all those in attendance. The Service concludes with the commemorative Memorial Christmas Tree Lighting of Woodlawn’s specimen spruce tree located adjacent to the entry driveway at Woodlawn, which occurs simultaneously with the final rendition of lyrics from the carolers. The tree shall remain lit throughout the Holiday Season.

She draws from her experience of living and raising a family near the beach for many of her songs. Some say saltwater runs through her veins.
