Neighborhood Sessions

Our Neighborhood Sessions are filmed in the homes and spaces of community members and feature performances by local artists: the talented musicians that live next door.

We hope that, through these recordings, we can extend the reach of local music to the ears of new listeners– those beyond earshot of the rock shaking Great Scott or the folk swirling in Club Passim.
