There will be acoustic and band performances as well as artists being backed by the incredible CSN Boston House Band made up of seasoned musicians Joe Musella on guitar, Justin Kolack on bass, Andrew Beckman on keys and Marty Richards on drums.

CSN Boston has historically donated proceeds from the singer/songwriter music showcase benefits to music-related non-profit organizations, thanks to their many generous supporters. But in honor of Johnny D’s and to show our thanks for being CSN Boston’s #1 venue for many years, CSN Boston will donate the proceeds from this 11/19/15 talent showcase to support the Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC), an organization focused on preventing homelessness and hunger in the Somerville, MA area. Fact: It costs approximately $1,100 to prevent one family from becoming homeless. Johnny D’s owner Carla DeLellis and her staff were named SHC 2014 Honorees for being community leaders for many years by caring for the Somerville residents who are most vulnerable; cooking and delivering meals once a week to a SHC shelter, hosting benefits, etc.
