The Millis-Berfield Band features talented and fun performers with a diverse music list of covers and originals. Ken Porter (singer and percussionist) has opened for Dave Loggins and performed numerous times with Pete Seeger, The Kennedys, Kate Campbell, and many others. Bo Veaner (guitar and songwriter) was the lead guitarist and backup vocalist for Gerry Wasserman and The Great Experiment. John Zaia (violin, bass) is a classically-trained musician who has worked with Carolyn Waters. "Uplifting and thoughtful songs; wicked tight harmonies. You'll love them." "A refreshing blend of originals and folk-rock classics, performed with gusto but without bombast. Their whole is more than the sum of its parts; their harmonies are a treat!"
Thea Iberall has been called ‘a shimmering bridge between heart and mind.’ She represented Los Angeles at the National Poetry Slams and is featured in the documentary “Poets, Passion and Poetry.” She has featured at almost 100 venues including StorySpace, Open Spirit, Amazing Things Art Center, Limmud, Worcester State University. “Thea is the dream house at the four-way intersection of storytelling, poetry, science and spirit… she breathes grace into every evocative piece that leaps to life from her heart and mind to yours." (StorySpace)
Proceeds go to maintain Medfield’s Historic Meetinghouse.
The Expresso Yourself @ the Historic Meetinghouse is an opportunity for musicians and spoken word artists to share their poetry, stories, and songs. Are you up to the challenge to bring in a story/poem/song about this month's theme? One you have in your back catalogue or a new one hot off the presses?
Come and join in the fun, either to enjoy as an audience member or to participate. Open mic participants have 6 minutes to share. Teens and adults welcome. Sign up for the open mic at theaiberall@yahoo.com
