If you are looking for a chance to beat the heat with great original music, food and drink and — yes! — air conditioning, come join us at Songwriters in the Round at the Arts at the Armory Café in Somerville. You will leave refreshed in more ways than one!

I am looking forward to sharing the stage with these amazing songwriters!

Steven Santoro, fresh from recording his new R&B album with an unusual rhythm section: the Turtle IslandString Quartet.  www.stevensantoro.com

Scarlet Keys is a captivating performer whose warm, insightful interviews of Grammy-winning and Platinum-record-selling songwriters have made her podcast What’s In A Song a must-listen. www.scarletkeys.com

Hosted by Somerville singer/songwriter David Thorne Scott, who will be on hand to perform his jazz- inflected songs and remind you to tip the musicians. www.davidthornescott.com
