Ramon & Jessica is the folk-pop duo of Dina Maccabee (Berlin) and Jesse Olsen Bay (Montague). R&J weaves violin, guitar, ukulele, toy instruments, and a cappella breaks into a sweet and offbeat tapestry of songs and sounds. They've been charming audiences for 15 years, but this will be their first live, in-person performance since 2018! (www.ramonandjessica.net)
