The Dunes of the Cape – A Special Boston Playlist
Her Town Now, Mark Erelli (from the self-released Blindsided) A song of the year nomination at last year’s Americana Music Awards put Mark Erelli on a stage that he has long deserved. Over twelve albums, Erelli has honed his songwriting craft and become one of Americana’s leading, if until recently under-appreciated, songwriters. Blindsided, his latest […]
Turkeyfoot – Promise Of Tomorrow
With the festival season cancelled this year I’m discovering my longing for live music is taking twists and turns in its desire. Recently, no doubt partly due to summer settling in on the central California coast, I was having acute pangs for some hardcore bluegrass. Fortunately, out of the blue the Postal Service delivered the […]

Pandemic Twang
Music is a very personal thing and we all have different soundtracks to our lives. My earliest musical images include the gospel choirs my grandmother led at the church down the road, as well as the many piano students that came to her house, playing in the living room while I listened from her bedroom […]

Robert Francis – Amaretto
It’s strange to say a 32-year-old returned to form, but that’s exactly what Robert Francis just did. His first three albums, One by One, Before Nightfall, and Strangers in the First Place, were brilliant beyond Francis’ years. Each one showed a unique and progressing voice. The next three records, Heaven, Fire Engine Red, and Indian […]
