Somerville Songwriter Sessions at the Armory Cafe presents contemporary folk singer/songwriters in concert on the first Saturday of each month. The Armory Cafe features live music in an intimate setting, a menu featuring sandwiches, soups, desserts and coffees, and plenty of free parking. Our 6/7 performers:
Multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Rupert Wates combines unforgettable songs with virtuoso guitar playing. His music is the fruit of twenty years at the top of his profession. Folk tinged, with flavors of jazz and even classical, it bears the impression of his English roots as well as his years in New York City and on the road in America. By turns witty, erudite and moving, his songs will go straight to your heart. More at rupertwatesmusic.com.
David Thorne Scott is a singer, songwriter, composer, and writer. His current project is Animal Spirits, a new musical about economist John Maynard Keynes, which examines the role of love, art, and sexuality in a world of war, ideological polarization and economic inequality. Eponymous Review wrote that David "explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty." He has been a soloist with the Boston Pops, the Capital Jazz Orchestra, the New England Wind Symphony, the Melrose Symphony, the Cape Symphony, and the Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra. His composition "I See You" was featured in the television show The Blacklist on NBC. David is also the host and producer of Songwriters in the Round, an ongoing semimonthly series at the Somerville Armory Cafe that has presented over 90 performers to the Somerville Armory.

Boston musician Sam Bayer 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, Bad Apple, brings 11 gems from his universe to yours. More at sambayer.com.
