Club Passim
(Marketing & Membership manager)
2020 to present
Summer started working for Club Passim in September 2020 after a year of living in Boston. Her drive for community outreach and event planning within the folk music scene led her to the position of the Marketing and Membership Manager. She relocated to Boston from northern California to further her career and passion for folk music, specifically traditional Scottish music. As a Celtic cellist, fiddler, and Scottish ceilidh dance caller deeply connected to the fiddle camp circuit since 2006, Club Passim has always been on her radar as the heart of the New England folk scene. It is with great pleasure that she finds herself working for this legendary music venue.
