The Red Room at Cafe 939

Ivan & Alyosha are known for their sweet, Beatles-esque melodies, jangly guitars, heartfelt songwriting, and energetic live performances. They have toured with and supported the likes of NEEDTOBREATHE, the Head and the Heart, Delta Spirit, Aimee Mann, and Brandi Carlile.

Dylan LeBlanc is engaging and soft-spoken in person, yet his striking new album, Renegade, reflects the power of his live show—one that he simply describes as “rock ’n’ roll.”

When this Kentucky native released her debut album, Old Time Feeling, she was rightly coined an "untamed rock 'n' roll truth-teller" by Rolling Stone. The roots-inflected record saw S.G. Goodman lending her gritty, haunting vocals to narrate the dual perspectives of her upbringing as the daughter of a crop farmer and a queer woman coming out in a rural town. 

In conjunction with the Red Room at Cafe 939, the Songwriting Department is proud to present this open mic event for Berklee songwriters, held on the last Monday of each month.

Students from the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, directed by Edmar Colón, will perform “new standards” from the institute's book of lead sheets, as well as original compositions.
