Rumford Junction is a Rhode Island-based roots/folk group consisting of Tim Messitt (guitar, vocals); Ed Synan (guitar, vocals); Lisa Gallant (accordion, keyboards,  fiddle, vocals); John Popoli (drums); John DeMaria (bass). During the pandemic of 2020, this group of neighbors came together to play music on the front lawns and porches of Rumford, RI - hence the band’s name.   In 2024 they released their debut album, Tributaries, with original songs inspired by some of the music they covered by artists such as Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, The Band and more.
