Join Chris Langathianos, Joe Wilkins, Renee Dupuis, Joe Cardoza, & Dennis Monagle for a holiday season tradition at The Cut! Enjoy the sounds of the season, the sounds of winter, and other fun – and funny – surprises in this annual holiday tradition.

Winners of the 2020 New England Songwriting Competition for their song, “Your Town (is Gonna Change),” Chris + Joe (Chris Langathianos and Joe Wilkins) are a Cape Ann-based duo with deep roots in the Greater Boston music scene, are known for their tight harmonies, thoughtful songs, and engaging banter. Joe, a multi-instrumentalist, expert songwriter, and producer, teamed up with vocalist and live show producer, Langathianos, in 2013 and they have continued to capture audiences with their easy and melodic, yet diverse, style, witty banter and approachable sets.

From easy melodic folk to contemporary pop and rock, Chris + Joe bring a new twist to old favorites, mixed with deeply personal, award-winning originals, and a side of self-deprecating audience give-and-take.

Renee & Joe is a folk/rock duo whose music features both high energy vocal and instrumental arrangements as well as minimalist themes and gentle harmonies. They’ve released three full length albums since 2014 and can be seen playing around Cape Ann and greater New England as a duo and as a part of other musical ensembles. Renee (piano/vocals) & Joe (bass/guitar/vocals) also play in the neo-soul, cabaret band What Time Is It Mr. Fox?. They live on Cape Ann with their two children.

It was a foggy and wet late afternoon when I stopped by Maritime Gloucester to check things out. I was intrigued by the holiday lights. It’s always so hopeful and cheery; even more so with the upcoming Lobster Trap Tree Lighting Sat Dec 14. Hope to see you there.
