The midnight movie series was my introduction to the Somerville Theatre. It was a 15-minute pre-show featuring music, dance, & comedy for the Saturday late-night features in the summer of 2011. That first performance was the first time I'd been in a venue that was big enough to support the sound and volume of my amplifier. After the first gig, I was hooked and kept looking for more opportunities to play in that venue (see TimeStamp & Beck Song Reader). The sound in that place is amazing.

In 2014, Ian Judge, the creative director, asked me to lead the pit band for the theatre's centennial celebration. I put together a ten-piece band that supported the opening acts, overture, and pre-show.

The Somerville Theatre is a magical place. I've played a few sold-out performances and a few intimate engagements there; they've all been incredible experiences.
