 Interview with SONiA from Disappear Fear Right now, there is someone who is dying for what they believe in. Right now, there is someone struggling to survive. Right now, there is someone who is happy about today. Right now, there is someone searching for someone else. And right now, there is peace flowing through the trees dripping uplifting melodies on an acoustic guitar. And I think that it is here that we will find SONiA. Sponsor ads:

 It’s been four years since Jason Myles Goss released an album – and in those four years a lot has happened. In 2006 Jason packed his bags and moved from the Boston music scene to Brooklyn, NY to further explore his musical talents. In New York Jason successfully mapped out his new world, a place where certain beauty revealed itself amongst flaws. A place where Jason found the fervor to write, sip coffee and write some more, and where a front row seat to tranquility was only an admission ticket and Ferris wheel ride away. In fact, it was a visit to Coney Island where Jason’s latest album, “A Plea for Dreamland” began to take shape. “When I first came to Brooklyn I went down to Coney Island and became fascinated by it and started reading about its history,” Jason explains. “It’s this sort of place that is very sacred but kind of fundamentally flawed and sort of wounded. I wanted that same kind of palpable feeling that I had at Coney Island to reflect on the record itself. Something that can still be very valuable, but not earth shattering: not perfect. And maybe even more valuable because of its flaws.” Sponsor ads:

 Well she is not exactly for sale, but she is completely free. Mieka Pauley, a local boston singer/songwriter hero is giving her self away. With the help of Amazon.com you can get her entire new album for free. I took the liberty to partake in this offer and was extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is an album I would have spent $20 on.

 You don’t have to be saccharine to be sweet, is the lesson learned upon listening to Naia Kete’s song “Sweet Music”, which appears off of her newly released debut album sharing the song’s namesake. In this melodious tune Naia’s voice carries a subtle soulfulness with a delicate feeling of fused ease and passion, as she sings slow and steady with the varying accompaniment of guitar, drums and piano.

Ryan Montbleu is a songwriter who combines a sharp sense of humor with an eye for detail and an ability to express a wide range of emotions to create a soulful mélange of folk, R&B and jazz. Recorded in Woodstock, NY, Mr. Montbleu’s newest CD is titled “One Fine Color”, and features his versatile and accomplished band along with some special guests, like Steve Giannaros (tenor sax) and Garret Savluk (trumpet), so that the instrumentation and arrangements are nicely varied from song to song.
Over the last several years, Ryan and his band have gone from playing at the local TGI Friday's to selling out the biggest clubs and theaters in the Boston area, as well as touring across the country. They've played with Max Creek, Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett (of Little Feat), Steve Forbert and Steve Miller - to name just a few. They've developed a reputation for spirited live performances, to go along with Ryan’s brilliant songwriting.
