Shea Rose

Shea Rose has held a variety of titles throughout her career, including singer-songwriter, yogi, style icon, and music curator, to name a few. Her music, influenced by soul, hip-hop, rock, and folk, addresses topics like identity, self-acceptance, and spiritual transformation. Former Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse described her as “that rare artist who can bridge diverse styles such as soul, funk, rock, rap, and jazz — and bring her unique stamp to each.”

Rose is a featured songwriter and vocalist on two Grammy Award-winning jazz albums by legendary drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, The Mosaic Project, and Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue. She has received numerous accolades for her musical abilities, including multiple Boston Music Awards, a SESAC National Performance Activity Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Abe Olman Scholarship, and, most recently, the Andrea C. Silbert Rising Star Award from the Center for Women & Enterprise for her Embodied Voice & Yoga business.

Rose has independently released three full-length solo projects: Little Warrior Mixtape, Rock’ n Rose EP, and D.T.M.A. (Dance This Mess Around) EP. In 2020, Rose recorded a cover of Sinéad O’Connor’s “Black Boys on Mopeds,” a powerful commentary on police brutality in black communities. The music video was published and promoted by TEDxTalks. Rose has performed in Barbados, Cuba, Jamaica, Italy, Greece, and Romania, as well as at Symphony Hall in Boston, the Blue Note Jazz Club, and SXSW.

When she’s not on stage, Rose offers Embodied Voice & Yoga coaching and consulting to individuals and organizations. She is an Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music, teaching Yoga for Musicians and Performance Skills.

Summer McCall

Summer McCall is a Northern Californian raised in the traditional Scottish music & dance scene of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Her extroverted and effervescent nature has led her down a global network of Celtic/Folk artists. As a Celtic cellist, fiddler, and dancer, she found her way to Boston MA for the traditional music scene in September 2019 to further her passions and musical upbringing. Her current endeavors consist of festival directing the Boston Celtic Music Festival (BCMFest), band management/booking agent, co-founder of Ministry of Folk (LLC), a regular session musician on fiddle, babysitter to folk-stars, and Scottish ceilidh dance calling.

With an enthusiastic and infectious love for movement, Summer has long-standing experience and joy calling traditional dances for Scottish ceilidhs (pronounced kālē). With a background of over 20 years of experience dancing ballet, modern, middle eastern, Irish/Scottish step dancing, and tap, calling for dances came naturally in her early teens. Starting as a caller at Alasdair Fraser’s Sierra Fiddle Camp in 2012 she has since been asked to lead dances at various fiddle camps around the country, private events, the KVMR Celtic Festival, Boston Celtic Music Festival, and throughout Europe. 

From September 2020-July 2023, she worked for the legendary folk venue Club Passim in Cambridge, MA as their Marketing & Membership Manager, co-facilitator in the initiative of the DEIB program – The Folk Collective, and Festival Director of BCMFest. She has continued to work as an independent contractor with Club Passim as the Festival Director.
