If you haven't been to Bloc for a show, make a point of it.
It's a cozy, pleasant space.
Brick walls, lit tea light candles on the tables.
There is a small stage and PA set up for the shows, which take place in the back half of the cafe, leaving the front open for those who wish to chat and not partake in the entertainment. This could very well become the Somervillle equivalent to Salem's Gulu Gulu Cafe. Now...if only they could get a liquor license....
WHEN: This Wednesday, May 12. The show begins at 6:30pm and Jaggery is on at 8pm.
HOW MUCH: Free! ...though I highly recommend you buy a tiny mocha and tip your barista...
WHO'S IN THE BAND TONIGHT: Singer Mali (vocals, piano, whistling virtuoso) , and me on viola
WHO ELSE IS PLAYING: GEM CLUB, one of our favorite Boston Bands is on from 7pm-8pm. It's Christopher Barns (piano, vocals) and Kristen Drymala (Cello, voice). Slant of Light opens the night from 6:30pm-7pm.
WHY SHOULD I COME TO THIS ONE: Let's be real. You're not doing anything else on a Wednesday night.
It's a great opportunity to catch an evening of music for free while enjoying some kick-ass espresso and pastries. Also, no night of duets would be complete without a few unusual covers. This will be a rare chance to hear the four of us (mali, christopher, kristen, rachel) as the art-rock supergroup, GEMery.
oh yeah, Gemery the supergroup! i love it. can't wait to the Org when we cover each other songs ~ we'll have to come up w/ names like this for each individual song.
