Rooted in soul and steeped in rock ‘n’ roll, Reckoners is a Boston-based band built from some of the region’s most respected and road-tested musicians.
Fronted by singer and guitarist Tim Gearan, the group features guitarist and band leader Johnny Trama (Bettye LaVette, The Silks, Dub Apocalypse), drummer Tom Arey (Peter Wolf, The J. Geils Band, G. Love, Vapors of Morphine) bassist Marc Hickox (Bettye LaVette, Charlie Musselwhite), and keyboardist Darby Wolf (Bettye LaVette, Rubblebucket). Together, they channel the grit and groove of classic soul and rock into something timeless and deeply personal.
Their self-produced debut album — now streaming on all major platforms — has drawn more than 43,000 monthly listeners and features the standout single “Looking for a Reason” with guest vocals by Susan Tedeschi.
Reckoners have been building momentum across New England with sold-out headline shows and support slots alongside artists including Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wallflowers, and Bonnie Raitt. Their music and live performances were recently spotlighted in Relix Magazine.

Chelsea Berry is a Maine-based indie singer songwriter known for her powerhouse vocals, heartfelt songwriting, and commanding stage presence. Acclaimed artist Susan Werner once dubbed her “the Pink of folk music”—a nod to Berry’s genre-blending style, emotional depth, and vibrant live energy.
Over a 25-year career that includes thirteen original albums, Berry has built a loyal following all over the country. This October, she returns to her former home on Cape Ann to celebrate the release of her newest album, Peace Soldier. Recorded with engineer and co-producer Rich Lamb in Queens NYC, with overdubs by engineer Warren Babson at Bang-A-Song Studios in Gloucester, Peace Soldier is a collaborative, cinematic, rock-meets-musical-theater production built on empathy, connection, compassion, and community, while showcasing Berry’s powerful and dynamic vocals, innovative spirit, and penchant for bringing people together.
The songs of Peace Soldier and the message they carry will resonate with listeners in a vastly deep and meaningful way. In this release performance, the audience can expect to be confronted with questions, ideas, and collaborative insights centered on humanity, common ground, war, death, love, and the desire for peace. These themes are set within a story arc of songs supported by far more dynamic and complex arrangements than any in Berry's past works. This special release performance will feature her full band plus a cast of guest vocalists. Berry has appeared in Boston publications such as The Noise and Northshore Magazine, and is regularly featured on Sirius XM as well as local radio stations across the country. Known for drawing audiences in “like moths to a flame,” Berry continues to be a favorite among listening rooms nationwide.
A veteran of the road, Berry has toured coast to coast and recorded albums in Boston, New York, Nashville, and Denver. She has shared the stage with legendary artists such as Livingston Taylor, Chris Smither, Mavis Staples, Chris Isaak, Shawn Colvin, and many more.
Originally from Alaska, Chelsea now makes her home just north of Acadia National Park in coastal Maine.
