Local Venues

There are also a lot of good places to play music in the Boston area. Some highlights:

The Skybar in Somerville.

Club Passim in Harvard Square, Cambridge.

All Asia Cafe in Central Square, Cambridge.

Sam Bayer's excellent list of open mikes in the greater Boston area.

Red Rock Coffee Shop in Mountain View, California. Okay, it's not local, but I was a regular at their wonderful open mike for over three years. I still miss it.

Non-Local Musicians

Garrison Starr, a criminally unknown singer/songwriter.

Bay Area Musicians

Bob Edgar, a good friend from California.

The DTs, featuring friends Dave Allender and Tom Gewecke.

Erik Ostrom, poly-instrumentalist and songwriter.

Meredith Edgar, daughter of Bob and very talented singer.

Other Things of Note

Andre Monserrat, old friend and very talented artist/writer. He did the cover art for two of my CDs.
