"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

With roots in blues, jazz, country, bluegrass and more, singer/songwriter Naomi Sommers is emerging as an exciting and important new voice on the music scene.

Based in the Boston area, Naomi performs regularly at Club Passim, Paradise Lounge, and other popular venues, and also hosts the monthly Boston Songwriter Showcase at the Zeitgeist Gallery. In addition, she tours frequently throughout New England and New York City (at the Living Room and Mercury Lounge) and beyond to ever-growing and enthusiastic audiences. She was a 2004 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk finalist.

Naomi began her professional music career at age six, playing onstage at Washington D.C.\'s Birchmere with Jonathan Edwards and the Seldom Scene (her dad, Phil Rosenthal, was lead singer and guitarist in the legendary band at the time), and singing on an award-winning series of bluegrass children\'s albums for American Melody Records. Now 25, she has grown into a striking, lyrical songwriter, an exceptional guitarist, and rich, expressive singer, completely at home and enchanting in live performance.
