They don’t wanna brag, but we already know…Karmin has been dominating pop music lately, and kicking manufactured pop to the curb. With my recent article about women in music and the “song machine”, covering Karmin for a week was eye opening. The press was still rolling after Rethink Music, and I had the pleasure of […]

First and foremost, a heads up that I will be chatting with Karmin again this Friday about their album release! Hello is out May 8th! The biggest thing I took from Rethink Music was the advice from fellow musicians who had launched their careers from Boston. As mentioned in my last post, Amy Heidemann from […]
Over the past few days, Boston hosted the Rethink Music Conference. I was very grateful to attend as part of the press, and as a curious member of the music industry. During this time, I had the chance to attend a concert showcase on Sunday night, and an interview with Karmin on Monday. The showcase […]
The Rethink Music Conference is kicking things off this weekend, and what better way to pay homage to those who have really dived into the music industry than with an interview with Andrew Dawson? I was very tempted to title this ‘Sound Advice’ but didn’t want any of my awful puns to deter readers, so […]

I tried to merge the venue with the band. I tried. I couldn’t pass up a possible play on words, so you may cringe and berate me later. Well, you’re probably here because you are really digging Gentlemen Hall’s tunes, and rightfully so. Everything that is so unique and smart about their music really shines […]
By capturing the band, My Politic, I mean with a camera. Not in a swashbuckling pirate sort of way. Yes. So. Friday, March 30, was a joyous night of folk music at the Out of the Blue Gallery in Cambridge! A big thank you to everyone involved with putting the party together, and I wish […]
I think of bees and often think of the Beehive in Boston: jazz and good potatoes, two things I really like. Launching off of one bee/jazz association, I will jump to another jazzy bee: Bees Deluxe. The band has a very interesting background, rooted in Boston’s love for jazz and music. Patrick Sanders performs as […]
