Britt Connors: Barside (2)

Britt Connors: Barside (2)
Britt Connors grew up surrounded by music of all kinds: the folk, rock, and jazz of her parents, the classical of her grandparents, and the pop of 80’s and 90’s radio. As such, the music she writes and plays is as eclectic as her background. After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in vocal performance and teaching voice lessons for a year, she moved to Somerville, MA with the sole purpose of learning guitar, crafting her first songs, and finding her place in the Boston music scene. Along the way, she met and married celebrated drummer Mike Connors, who has played in her band since 2008. When she’s not playing and singing, Britt can be found teaching Pilates in the restored carriage house she shares in Concord, MA with Mike and Ringo the Wonder-Cat.

The Lied To's: Barside

The Lied To's: Barside
The Lied To’s — Doug Kwartler and Susan Levine — craft honest, harmony-driven Americana that explores the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Their third album, The Worst Kind of New, digs deep into grief, memory, and moving forward, shaped by the personal loss of both their parents during its creation.

Known for their raw, cinematic sound and unflinching lyrics, the duo blends textured guitars and thoughtful songwriting to tell stories that resonate. From the reflective “Midnight Kiss” to their spirited single “It’s Not Who You Love,” The Lied To’s invite listeners into a space that’s both personal and universal.

Award-winning solo artists before they met, Kwartler and Levine joined forces in 2013 and have been making music — and life — together ever since.

Off Cabot - Danielle Miraglia

Off Cabot - Danielle Miraglia

Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips.

Her latest “Bright Shining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts.

Cascade Blues Association calls it “… tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” Released Oct 2020 with Vizztone Label Group, it’s a solo acoustic folk/blues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt. It includes originals as well as a collection of songs she covers at live shows, paying homage to influences like Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and more, plus the title track “Bright Shining Stars,” written by her husband, Tom Bianchi.
