Day 26: February 24th, 2010
Sierra  

     SIERRA is a brand-new face in Cambridge’s formidable folk scene, but she is already a force to be reckoned with. Her music is haunting, lilting, graceful, and filled with wisdom. Her story is one of heartbreak, tragedy, triumph, despair,and hope. She has the rare knack of composing simple, unforgettable melodies and marrying them to intelligent lyrics.
      She describes herself as “an observer, a focuser… [someone who] actually gives a sh*t.” To be in the same room with Sierra is to feel like you are the only person in her world. Her ability to draw hope from the depths of despair—making those who are along feel less lonely—is what her fans love about her, both as a musician, and a friend.
      Her newly-released EP, “Rocks,” features Catie Curtis, Rachael Davis, and Natalia Zukerman.  www.SierraRocks.com

Timmy Riordan

     Timmy has been called ‘the hidden gem” of the Somerville/Cambridge music scene. In February 2009 he wrote and posted 28 songs on his website. This year he’s doing it again.  He has also decided there should be 8 day in a week (in honor of the Beatles of course) and has invited 32 of his songwriting friends to support him through the month by each writing a song themselves. Over the last summer he recorded 8 of those songs on a CD entitled “Peter Let Me In.” Each CD includes an original cover, hand-drawn just for you in Sharpie by Timmy. Proceeds from this hand-crafted album are all going directed to the making of “New York’s Ignoring Me” his next studio album to be released in summer of 2010.
