Storytellers: an up close and personal evening with the artists behind the music. An intimate night of songs and stories as Valerie Barretto takes the stage with special guests Maddi Ryan and Luke Papich of Overserved Again. Each artist will perform their music, share the stories behind the songs, and open the floor for a Q&A with the audience. A unique chance to connect with the artists in a personal way.

Born and raised in a small town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Valerie has enjoyed all types of music and theater from a young age. From plays, band, and chorus’ in grade school, to completing a degree in Classical Vocal Performance at the University of Massachusetts, Valerie has kept music close to her heart throughout her life.
Being known today as a singer/songwriter, she explains “I love the raw, gritty, storyteller style genres. I found that I always try to bring that same style into my writing and in turn, my originals. I want to be known for my lyrics more than anything. I want to tell stories in a way people remember..."

Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, Luke now calls South Boston home, where he writes songs, shreds guitar, and sings like it’s the only way to pay rent.
Overserved Again. He first fell in love with country music riding in the car with his mom, singing along to Tim McGraw, The Chicks, Johnny Cash — those voices stuck.
After stashing his guitar through high school, Luke brought it back in college, where late-night jams after parties got him comfortable on stage. That spark led to forming Overserved Again and blending heartfelt songwriting with a raw, high-energy sound. Outside music, he’s a fan of bonfire crackles, long walks on the beach, puppies, and turning life’s small moments into big stories onstage.

Based just north of Boston, Maddi Ryan is a bold, rising New England singer/songwriter known for powerful vocals, honest emotion, and a unique blend of country, pop, and rock.
From her earliest days singing for family (sometimes from atop the coffee table), she’s grown into a performer who commands the stage. She made her professional debut during CMA Fest in Nashville with her former band, and has since played venues across New England, earned nominations for New England Music Awards (including Country Act of the Year), and opened for acts like The Cadillac Three, Morgan Myles, and more.
Her music carries raw, relatable stories — heartbreak, hope, resilience — delivered with a voice that “booms like Ballerini” and “radiates tenderness.”
