The last New Music Revue I did was on 7/1. I typically only do one of these every six weeks or so. However, a batch of good stuff came my way and so I thought, why not? I go all over the map here but … Continue reading New Music Revue – 7.22.18

New Music Revue – 5.17.18
Wherein I occasionally crawl out of my blues/jazz cave and listen to something different. (Well, some blues on here but by no means entirely.) Wikipedia: Mushy Callahan* is a Canadian indie rock band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The band’s lineup consists of four members: Lucas (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Joel (drums, … Continue reading New Music Revue – 5.17.18
New Music Revue – 11.2.17
An occasional feature wherein I talk about a couple of tunes I listened to and dug lately. (Pictured above, Letters to Lions.) First up, the band Scenic Route to Alaska. From their Facebook page: The easygoing Edmonton-based trio, comprised of Trevor Mann on lead vocals and … Continue reading New Music Revue – 11.2.17
Aimee Mann (and the Boston Scene)
A recent issue of the Boston Globe (Sunday) Magazine has this cover story – When Boston Rocked! Loud guitars, packed clubs, and bands that mattered.

They had been her opening act for some time so I guess somebody at … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – I Want You Back

In addition to writing about older music, I want to keep the blog fresh by keeping as up-to-date with the current music scene as time allows. So periodically I’ll refer to ‘current’ music but the bands I talk about may not necessarily be new per … Continue reading Current Blues (y)
Pray for Sound
A while back I shamelessly plugged my son’s band, The Color and Sound. Not satisfied with having just one band, he is involved with (guitarist for) two of them. This one is called Pray for Sound and they are a “Massachusetts-based instrumental post-rock band started in … Continue reading Pray for Sound
The Color and Sound
Disclaimer – This is a shameless plug for my son’s band, The Color and Sound. Boston-based, they are doing a short tour and then, well, I’ll let them speak for themselves: Hey! Starting this upcoming week The Color And Sound are going on a short … Continue reading The Color and Sound
