AMPLIFIED: ARTISTS & SET LIST
Friday, January 9, 2026 at 7:30pm | Somerville Armory
Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 3:00pm | St. John’s JP
Amplified is where classical and contemporary music meet on equal terms. A Far Cry joins forces with Yeemz (Yi-Mei Templeman), a singer-songwriter, cellist, and composer whose music blends indie folk intimacy with classical depth. Known for her signature style — singing while playing the cello like a guitar — Yeemz crafts songs that are poetic, emotionally resonant, and completely her own.
Amplified is relaxed and informal. Audiences are encouraged to move freely and grab a snack or drink while they experience the music.
Original voices amplified by strings, and made to move you.
Curated by Crier Francesca McNeeley & Yeemz
Musical selections will be announced from the stage, featuring brand new string arrangements of tunes from Yeemz’ latest album Blame The Gods and blazing contemporary and folk-classical works performed by the Criers.
