Tunefoolery was created in 1994 at the Cambridge-Somerville Social Club, a mental health drop-in center. Starting with four musicians, today Tunefoolery has over 60 musicians who perform over 300 gigs every year, most within the Greater Boston mental health community.
Since education and opportunities for professional and personal growth are essential parts of successful mental health recovery, we created our Music Scholarship program in 1999, offering music lessons and workshops to our members for a nominal fee.Since 2001, we have also offered our musicians a yearly, three-day summer retreat where music-making, workshops, and community building fill our days.
