Five for Fighting puts focus on family in Mass. shows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three weeks ago, Five for Fighting mastermind John Ondrasik performed his hit “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” at the 25th anniversary 9/11 commemoration in New York. It was one of many intense moments he’s had with the song, which has become linked with numerous causes over the years. “We’re still trying to digest that. For me it felt like the bookend to the Concert for New York (in 2001), they had a lot of similarities for me, both visually and because the space we were in was so emotional. I had as
Sons of Legion’s ‘Power’ move takes duo to Boston (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The members of Sons of Legion can tell when one of their anthemic songs hits the target. “Sometimes I can use my own music as a soundtrack for life,” says co-frontman Adam McInnis. “ And after we did ‘Power’ I felt that every time I heard the song, I could pick up a truck and throw it through a window.” A viral sensation over the past year, the Nashville-based Sons of Legion have only been a duo for a few years, though McInnis and Mario “Daddy Jack” Marchetti had logged years as songwriters and
Esperanza Spalding brings retrospective show to City Winery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tell Esperanza Spalding that she’s stretched the boundaries of jazz, and she’ll say that it’s all part of her work. “Everybody does that,” she said this week. “The boundaries are encompassed by all of the people within, so it stretches with every single one of us.” Still, the locally-rooted bassist/singer/composer has done more stretching than most — whether that means creating an album in a 77-hour livestream; cowriting an opera with saxophone great Wayne Shorter, or venturing into Brazilian mu
Dumptruck back where they belong with Greater Boston gig (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dumptruck were never the cheeriest band in Boston, but for a few years they were one of the best. Fueled by twin lead guitars, a country/folk tinge and Seth Tiven’s savvy songwriting, they specialized in lyrically miserable songs that were improbably uplifting. “It’s not that we ever set out to write cheery, catchy songs with depressing lyrics — that’s just what we tended to do, and where my listening taste tends to as well,” Tiven said by phone this week. For reference points, consider that Dum
Squeeze brings new/old ‘Trixies’ album to Boston (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years back, the members of Squeeze had an idea that seemed it couldn’t possibly work: Instead of writing new songs for their next album, they’d go back and record some of the first songs that founders Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford wrote 50 years ago, before the band even existed. The result is “Trixies” — a full-fledged concept album about a seedy nightclub and its clientele, as imagined by those two teenagers. Not only did it work, it’s gotten the most attention that the venerable band
