Directions to our 2007-08 home
Jennifer Kimball
Saturday, March 15
As one half of the remarkable duo The Story, Jennifer Kimball was at the forefront of female-oriented, folk-based pop-rock, one of the most promising trends heading into the 1990s and which achieved its greatest prominence during the Lilith Fair years. Kimball released her first solo album at this time, the critically acclaimed Veering from the Wave, and her voice became synonymous with intelligent female folk music a quarter century after Joni Mitchell broke the mold. Few singers can couch sorrow and pain in as much beauty, and with such gravity and grace as Kimball, whose melodic gifts are exceeded only by the clarity of her voice, the intelligence of her phrasing and the conviction with which she inhabits the characters she creates.
Admission $15.00 / $12.00 students & seniors

Colleen Sexton
Saturday, April 12
Equal parts sincerity and strength, Colleen Sexton has established herself as a must-see artist and performer. Combining the sweet sounds of the front porch in summer with the soul of a vintage Harlem night, she really delivers the goods. Colleen migrated to New England from Syracuse, NY to attend law school, gave it up after two days in favor of music, and has been touring the United States and Canada ever since. Critics have described her performances as "smoldering, sincere, and captivating": and her songs as "intelligent" and "passionate." Come hear her heat it up at the Homegrown.
Admission $15.00 / $12.00 students & seniors

Chris Pahud & Friends
Saturday, April 26
Chris Pahud grew up in Needham and has been playing out since he was a teenager. He’s been a regular as stage host/musician at the New Bedford Summerfest and Boston Folk Festival and has shared the stage numerous times with Garnet Rogers and other Homegrown Coffeehouse favorites. His favorite songs are what Stan Rogers called, ‘meaty narrative folk songs’, or as Chris puts it, ‘songs that resonate’. He’s appeared at The Cross Roads Coffeehouse in Andover, The unCommon Coffeehouse in Framingham, The Mozaic Room in Avon, The Rose Garden Coffeehouse in Mansfield, Amazing Things Arts Center in Framingham, The Center For Arts in Natick, Club Passim in Cambridge, and (of course) at the Homegrown. Appearing with Chis will be an all-star lineup of Seth Connelly on guitar, Joe Donnelly on drums, and Hatrack Gallagher on blues harp.
