Tanya Donelly and Brian Sullivan recently released a wonderful new album under the moniker The Loyal Seas. The duo called upon Matthias Bossi, Russel Chudnofsky, Dean Fisher, Melissa Gibbs and Scott Janovitz to bring the recordings to life for a record release celebration at The Burren. The evening was a showcase for these new tunes as well as solo work from, and collaborations between, the various talented individuals on the stage. It was also a reminder of the how much joy a group of friends making beautiful music together can bring to a room.
Chris Colbourn @ The Burren 6.25.2022
Chris Colbourn writes some wonderful songs. On this night at The Burren, he delivered a handful of those with wit and charm to kick off The Loyal Seas record release celebration.
Abbie Barrett @ Sally O’Brien’s 9.7.2019
There’s nothing I dislike about Abbie Barrett and her band. One might say I actually kind of enjoy their musical adventures. I mean, they’re better than alright. One might even say that Abbie’s songs are little musical treasures and that you can feel her voice in your bones and that Mike Oram perfectly layers in his guitar textures and that Ed V is probably my favorite person to watch play the 4 string Fender bass (ever) and that Rice pretty much rules no matter what he’s doing (in this case, drumming just the right amount of drums) and that “Better Machine” might have been the best song released in 2018.
One might say those things.
Lockette @ Sally O’Brien’s 9.7.2019
Lockette brought their hooky tunes to Sally O’Brien’s for a Merch Girl milestone birthday celebration.
Letters To Cleo @ The Beachcomber 6.29.2019
Letters To Cleo wrapped up their Clambake weekend at The Beachcomber with another ridiculously fun set in the summer heat. Maybe this will become a thing. I sure hope so.
Will Dailey @ The Beachcomber 6.29.2019
Night #2 of the Letters To Cleo Clambake found Will Dailey giving it all he had on the Beachcomber stage. Much like his set the night before, the results were worth the effort. It was another fantastic set of music, this time with a Police cover thrown in.
Letters To Cleo @ The Beachcomber 6.28.2019
Letters To Cleo kicked off their fantastic Clambake weekend at The Beachcomber by ripping through a “Demon Rock”/”Fast Way” double shot and never looked back.
Will Dailey @ The Beachcomber 6.28.2019
If this is a sign of how this weekend is going to go, we’re in for a real treat. Will Dailey and his cast of merry men are killing it on The Beachcomber stage to kick off the two-night Letters To Cleo Clambake.
Tugboat Annie @ The Lilypad 5.11.2019
A Tugboat Annie reunion was something I never thought I’d see. I’m so happy I did. Their show at The Lilypad was an emphatic reminder of what a great band they were. Are? Perhaps.
Sidewalk Driver @ Zumix 4.29.2018
Hey! Sidewalk Driver played an afternoon show in support of the good folks over at Zumix. Family fun time! Of course I had to hand cameras to my boys to see what they see. Apparently they see Tad. Up close. Real close. Need proof? I didn’t take the last photo…
