COVID PRECAUTIONS: Because singing is a relatively high-risk activity, we ask that people attend only if vaccinated, boosted, and symptom-free. Anyone may lead a song, but no-one is obliged to. Drinking songs and sea chanteys always go over well, but anything with a good, singable chorus will be appreciated.

Thu Jan 8, 7-10pm: Somerville Pub Sing at Arts at the Armory Café
Where: The Center for Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA
Park at the rear; enter at the front. We'll be in the cafe, where they have soup, sandwiches and desserts as well as wine and a nice variety of bottled beers. Often, a few people show up early to grab dinner beforehand.
COVID PRECAUTIONS: Because singing is a relatively high-risk activity, please be symptom-free and have either up-to-date vaccination or a same-day rapid COVID test. There is, however, no mask requirement.
