Tunefoolery Member Feature & Open Mic – June 10

Tunefoolery is excited to welcome everyone back to our monthly Member Feature and Open Mic at Arts at the Armory in Somerville on Wednesday, June 10, at 7:00 pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

This month, we are proud to feature Tunefoolery members Trudi Goodman and Freeana.

Trudi Goodman joined Tunefoolery in 2007 as a guitarist and singer. A lifelong performer, Trudi began playing music at age 12, attended Berklee College of Music, and earned her BA in music and theater from UMass Boston. She is a professional musician, singer, actor, teacher, and an MA State-Certified Peer Support Counselor.

Trudi’s music reflects a wide range of influences, including Yiddish music, jazz, a ca****la, foreign language music, and eclectic styles. She sings, translates, and performs in seven languages, bringing warmth, skill, and expressive storytelling to the stage.

Freeana is a lifelong musician and gifted multi-instrumentalist whose healing world music draws from many cultures, traditions, and sounds. Her performances may include vocals, Native American flutes, recorder, didgeridoo, keyboard, and Middle Eastern doumbek.

A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Freeana has performed professionally with orchestras throughout Europe, in the Boston-area duo Freeana and Rosen, and with Tunefoolery for nearly 25 years. Her music invites listeners into a rich, soulful, and deeply expressive soundscape.

The evening will also include our Open Mic, a welcoming and vibrant space for artists of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned performer or simply looking for a supportive place to share your music or creative work, the Tunefoolery open mic is a wonderful place to connect with community.

This month’s gathering will also offer Tunefoolery members an opportunity to remember Jeff Margulies, whose presence meant a great deal to the community.

Tunefoolery is a collective of musicians in mental health recovery who use music as a tool for healing, advocacy, and community building. Our monthly events celebrate the power of creativity while offering a supportive and inclusive environment for artists and audiences alike.

Join us for a night of music, creativity, remembrance, and connection.

Tunefoolery Member Feature & Open Mic – March 11

Tunefoolery is excited to welcome everyone back to our monthly Member Feature and Open Mic at Arts at the Armory in Somerville on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 pm. Our community gathering returns for another evening of music, creativity, and connection. Admission is free and all are welcome.

This month we are proud to feature longtime Tunefoolery member David Hoffman. David joined Tunefoolery in 2006 as a classical guitarist and has been a valued part of the community ever since. He began studying classical guitar at the age of 10 and later took up piano at 15, continuing to develop his guitar playing through years of self-directed learning.

Over the years, David has been known to experiment beyond classical guitar, exploring other instruments and musical styles. In addition to guitar, he has played saxophone, performing in his church’s band when he was younger. More recently, David has been focusing much of his musical energy on electric bass, continuing his lifelong curiosity and growth as a musician.

David’s musical inspirations include jazz and gospel traditions as well as classical guitarists such as Julian Bream, John Williams, and Ana Vidovic. One of his current musical goals is to perform a guitar concerto with an orchestra.

When he is not playing music, David enjoys taking walks, spending time with friends, and eating out.

The evening will also feature our Open Mic, which has grown into a welcoming and vibrant space for artists of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned performer or simply looking for a supportive place to share your music or creative work, the Tunefoolery open mic is a great place to connect with the community.
