Dennis Brennan is a longtime staple of the Boston music scene, known for his gritty vocals and a sound that fuses rock, blues, and Americana. Over the years, he’s fronted several influential bands and released a string of critically praised albums, including Jack-in-the-Pulpit and Iodine in the Wine.

The Dennis Brennan Trio—featuring Jim Haggerty and Lyle Brewer—brings a raw, stripped-down energy to his songs, shaped by decades of experience and chemistry.

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.
