Greetings & Salutations to all! Bear with us as we’ve got a lot of juicy news to share with you.
We’ve been a bit quiet as of late, but ENSMB is going to be coming on like gangbusters over the next few months! And we’re going to kick it all off with pretty much our favorite thing in the whole world…
HONK!
Words can’t really capture the HONK! experience, the only thing to do is come out and take it all in yourself. Somerville, Cambridge and Boston are going to be invaded this weekend Oct. 9-11 by 400 of the most raucous musicians you’ve ever heard…and ENSMB is a proud part of it all. Check out the full schedule of events here

In all of the insanity, be sure not to miss us, as we’re rolling deep with a whole host of guest musicians and circus performers!
FRIDAY OCT 9 5:15-8:00 PM FREE
To Kick off HONK! right, local and visiting bands will team up and spread out all across the city to rock out in neighborhoods AND on buses and trains. Your Friday commute will never be the same! You can catch us playing in East Somerville in front of the East Somerville Library Lawn at 115 Broadway – between Sullivan Sq. and McGrath Highway, and joining us will be the incredible Pink Puffers. They’ve traveled all the way from Rome just to play here, so you do not want to miss this special treat. Also joining us will be the Boston Hoop Troop, as well the Somerville HS world percussion ensemble and the SHS marching band.
SATURDAY OCT 10 NOON-9:00 PM FREE
On Sat. Davis Sq will turn into a completely different world where musicians roam free and play loud! 27 bands from all over the country and the world will be playing in 7 different locations in and around Davis Sq. all you have to do is come out and party with us.
