About

Sam Bergquist is a Boston-based singer-songwriter whose rootsy Americana blends grit, warmth, and sharp storytelling. His songs have earned praise from WBUR, Americana Highways, and Americana UK, and his latest album, Devils & Doves, reached the Top 10 on the U.S. Alt Country Specialty Chart. Bergquistmusic.com Georgia Beef is back on the Boston music scene, with new song experiments in breaking social isolation. Audiences say, “This is the most present I’ve felt in years,” and “She made me sing, and I actually liked it.” With a guitar and one hand, and… well, the same guitar in the other hand, Georgia Beef brings protest folk for the imperfect, love songs for normal people, and group exercises in free will. And you? You just have to bring yourself. https://georgiabeemusic.substack.com/ Ella McDonald (they/she) is a Boston-based musician, singer, and songwriter whose thoughtful, intimate lyricism glides from haunting to healing in the same breath.
