Upcoming Events at the Red Room

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

In Berklee Online’s The Roaring Crowdfund podcast, listeners learn from four very different musical acts and track their progress across various crowdfunding platforms. The event will feature artists from the podcast discussing their crowdfunding experiences with industry experts.

Walid Zairi is an oud player whose band Talween is aptly named after the Arabic word for coloring.

Alice Phoebe Lou first traversed Europe in 2010 at the age of 16. Inspired by street artists, she began performing as a fire dancer before turning to music. L.A. Salami (Lookman Adekunle Salami) is a singer-songwriter from London, England, known for crafting magnetic blues/rock songs with a postmodern twist.

The Cotones are a Boston, Massachusetts–based indie/alternative rock group. Lithic is just four guys with a love for big hooks, memorable riffs, and expensive overdrive pedals.

Based on the in-the-round performances at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, songwriters sit in a circle, where they take turns playing to the audience seated around them, lending an intimate feel.

Rooted in vocal harmonies, acoustic and electric guitar, piano, banjo, and an eclectic range of additional instrumentation and soulful arrangements, Beta Radio’s Americana/folk sound is the result of a decadelong collaboration between Ben Mabry and Brent Holloman. Matt Sucich writes songs mostly with a pen and sings them always with his mouth.

SOLD OUT: There are no tickets remaining for this event.
Sid Sriram creates a bold cross section where pop, soul, his Indian classical roots, and alternative/ambient music clash vibrantly. Jake Sherman is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and producer from Boston, Massachusetts.

Legendary saxophonist Lee Konitz will discuss Lennie Tristano’s music and teaching with Tristano students Dave Frank and Jimmy Halperin.
