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 Massachusetts with stories about regular people. He performs his own songs and other folk songs all around New England. His music has been described as “about important things with his stories about seemingly small things.” Kathleen Healy is a hardworking musician and songwriter living on Cape Cod. 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. Healy writes from the heart, and her honest lyrics and often poignant subject matter lend themselves to the unique quality of her voice. She admits to being a live music junkie but is currently not seeking treatment for her addiction. Equally at home singing and playing in a quiet cafe or in front of a crowd, Roberta Lamb rocks to the beat of a variety of musical styles, from blues to rock and Americana. She picked her first guitar as a child in Texas and took to singing folk songs, Spanish traditional tunes, and ballads. Lamb honed her vocal craft as a classical musician, exploring concert singing and opera in college and later in Vienna, Austria. Back home in the United States, she took time to raise a family in Massachusetts, and she eventually found her way back to her first love: American music. Once her children were launched, she picked up the guitar and started playing and singing covers while practicing and listening to whatever music came her way. Strongly influenced by the vibrant local music community, she started writing originals and rebranded herself as a singersongwriter. She just recorded her first album of originals, Not Your Mama’s Blues, and performs across New England at a variety of venues from cafes, coffeehouses and restaurants to small concert stages, porch fests and farmers’ markets, singing and playing her heart out. Kenny Selcer will accompany Roberta. Wild Maple is Gary Dolinsky on guitar and vocals, Trish DeCaprio on violin and vocals and Steve Straight on acoustic bass and vocals.
