 I do not know how or when, but somehow I heard about Tim Gearan and showed up at Toad on a Monday night a few years ago. I left my house shortly after 10pm, walked to Porter Square, found the last stool at the corner of the bar, and halleluiah, there he was. Beside me appeared a horn section and a tall balding guy asking me if I was the girlfriend of one of the guys in the band.
That night I was transported to the scene in the movie where the famous musician is making a cameo appearance as a singer at a dive off the highway, while the lead actor approaches the lonely girl at the bar. Except the guy was less suave, and immediately bragged about knowing the sax player. |

 The headline on Lori McKenna’s myspace page reads; singer, songwriter, wife, mother, setting the tone for duality on her major label debut album Unglamorous. Unglamorous glistens and gleams with slick modern country production, but thematically centers on ordinary, turbulent suburban life. “Five kids in too little time/ With eyes just like mine”, McKenna warbles in the title track, identifying and embracing domestic chaos, and revealing an attitude which serves to define this Stoughton housewife living the life of a country music diva.

 Some songs just have a way of speaking to us. But have you ever heard a song and felt as though it had a way of lifting your spirits: a song that felt as though it had its own smile?
This may be the best way to describe The Paper Raincoat’s innovative EP, “Safe in the Sound”. The Paper Raincoat is the brain child of musicians Amber Rubarth, MySpace Mega-star and Alex Wong, ex-member of the former nationally acclaimed band, The Animators. Tags: |

The following is a transcript from an interview with Boston Singer/Songwriter Chad Perrone from several years ago. NYAF: What is the title of your upcoming album? Chad: "Used To Dream" NYAF: Why did you name the title that? Chad: There is a song off the record called "The Things We Used To Dream" and I thought the idea behind the song summed up a lot of the ideas behind the record (as a whole) as well as the time surrounding when I made this record. The song is basically about yearning for the simpler days of life, where things were more naive and innocent. After going through some dark points over the last year, I thought the title fit well. NYAF: What are your hopes and goals with your new project? Chad: My hopes/goals haven't changed. Make a living playing music... all the while keeping it something that I love to do. |
