Five Things: Della Mae, New Mom Support, Service Academy Night

This article was written by Robert Myers.

1. An evening with: Della Mae at The Rock Shop. Though they don't shy away from showing off their considerable technical talent, Della Mae is at heart a song-driven band with vocals that can tell an entire story in the merest syllable, and instruments that play with finesse and vivacity to match. Their 2011 release, I Built This Heart, was an impressive debut, a delicate balance between bluegrass grit and singer-songwriter sensitivity. 

2. New Mom Support Group. Join Flora Margolis, a licensed clinical social worker, for a six-session support group with guided topics to help provide specific coping skills, support from other moms, resources for the neighborhood, and a new understanding of the bond between mother and child.
