The International Singer Songwriter Association is a global artist alliance group with more than 30K singer songwriter members. Multi-award winning singer songwriter, Linda Marks has led the Boston/Northeast Chapter of ISSA for almost 4 years, building community through music. Joining Marks today are singer songwriters from MA (Linda Marks, Kathleen Healy, Thea Hopkins and Deborah Galiga) CT (Terri Lachance) and PA (Randie O'Neil) sharing uplifting and timely songs in the round.
Linda Marks - Often compared to Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Norah Jones, Linda Marks continues to prove why those comparisons stick. Her songwriting feels lived-in and generous, shaped by decades of experience not just as an artist, but as a community builder and heart-centered psychotherapist. That sense of emotional fluency runs through her 16th studio album, Queen Of The Angels, released 3/6/26—it knows when to speak and when to simply sit with you.

Kathleen Healy is a hard-working musician & songwriter living on Cape Cod. She draws from her experience of living and raising a family near the beach for many of her songs. Some say saltwater runs through her veins. Kathleen writes from the heart and her honest lyrics and often poignant subject matter lend themselves to the unique quality of her voice. She admits to being a live music junkie but is currently not seeking treatment for her addiction. #saltwatersongwriter

Thea Hopkins - A member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe of Martha's Vineyard, Thea Hopkins calls her music Red Roots Americana. The Washington Post has described her as a "standout".
Deborah Galiga is a vibrant solo performer (keyboards and guitar), singer/songwriter, recording artist, long-time member of the Boston music scene and alumna of Berklee College of Music. Her refreshing original songs look at topics such as peace, farmers’ markets, the joys of Saturday, middle school angst, insomnia, people who don’t wear watches, a long-enduring marriage, and the car as a metaphor for life.
Terri Lachance is a folk Singer Songwriter that believes songs can change the world. She actively curates many singer songwriter series in Connecticut in addition to performing her own timely songs.
Randie O'Neil - Award winning songwriter Randie O'Neil's storytelling comes from a sincere place. Her work as an adolescent intervention specialist brings a real-world perspective to her lyrics. Drawing on her own life story of having to survive an abusive alcoholic environment as a child, she helps students navigate a complicated world. Through her songs, she conveys a message of understanding and courage to face problems that almost all of us experience at some point in our lives.
