Adam Ezra Group rocked the Paradise in Boston last Saturday night
Adam Ezra Group is marked by a tasteful blend of electric and acoustic guitar. That this group has already forged their own sound out of organic guitar, bass, drums, percussion, and organ would seem accomplishment enough. Yet, these guys don’t want to rest on their laurels. They keep delving into their sound, especially in their […]

The Dirty Tricks make the perfect blues party CD with Mr. Nick & The Dirty Tricks.
The Dirty Tricks is a thoughtful combination of blues crooner/harpist Mr. Nick and blues guitar man “Lonely” Gus Carlson.

HeatherFest 16 fought the clouds to become another successful event
The 16th annual HeatherFest celebration of blues music in Heather McKibben’s backyard in Norton, Massachusetts went off without a hitch, until it rained during Duke Robillard’s set. Half the crowed headed for the display tents and the cover of trees. The other half for their cars and motorcycles. But, it was a lot of fun up […]

Southern Breeze doesn’t just get the notes right. They channel the energy and spirit […]

Kerri Edelman could strike gold with debut CD Leave It All Behind
Kerri Edelman’s debut CD Leave It All Behind plays out with a similar power pop princess approach of Avril Lavigne. Edelman has a solid pop rock band behind her, edgy, compressed guitars, drum programming, sonic synths, and her songs are polished to perfection. Her vocals are silky smooth and she brings a lot of youthful […]
