Acoustic Shack w/michaelsongs, Emi Camille, Ryan & Raquel, and Dual Cadence

Back by popular demand, our Acoustic Shack returns and usually packs the place with Somerville's enthusiastic music lovers. Grab complimentary, fresh, hot, home roasted coffee, and watch some of the regions even hotter acoustic acts. michaelsongs plays 100% original music where profound, insightful lyrics intertwine with powerfully rhythmic and delicate guitar. His songs tell stories of the spectrum of human connection, from a variety of perspectives, blended with vivid imagery. Emi Camille (no stranger to the Rock Shack stage from her role as a guitarist for the alt rock band Guitar Zero) is also a talented singer/songwriter on her own! Weaving poetic indie-folk that lingers like a half remembered dream, her delicate acoustic melodies and raw, introspective lyrics delve deep into love, loss, and the quiet moments in between. Ryan and Raquel prove that 1 + 1 = 3 as their whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Each an incredibly accomplished musician in their own right, together they are a force to be reckoned with. Dual Cadence engage audiences with soulful performances of popular music and classic rock songs. Their seamless chemisty and energetic, heartfelt renditions of popular songs appeals to many generations and create unforgettable live performances.
