Featured Artist(s) - Bands of Sofar Sounds: Boston

As a music fan, one of my favorite activities is chatting about seeing amazing bands in interesting places.  While I'm stoked to see Pearl Jam later this month in an arena, I was more excited to see Lucius at mid-sized Union Transfer where I could be two feet away from them.  I'm edge of my chair excited to see J. Roddy Walston & The Business, playing the tiny Ortlieb's.

Sometimes you know who to look for.  Sometimes you luck out and find amazing where you wouldn't expect it.  Sofar Sounds is a great way of finding magic in unexpected places.  Tonight we'll travel back through the Sofar Sounds: Boston archives for some gems.   Share some videos as you go and don't forget to sign up for your local Sofar Sounds

January 2014 - The Ballroom Thieves - "Brother" 
This amazing trio is on tour with the Maine Youth Orchestra including a date at Ardmore Music Hall 4/20.  Please go see them at the smaller venues now while you still can. They're captivating and make such beautiful music.

February 2014 - The Western Den- "Eden"

Lots of New England dates for The Western Den..    Thewesternden.com/shows


March 2014 - Parsonsfield - "Footsteps In My Ear"

I love a mismatch...  Parsonsfield at Boot & Saddle - May 18th
Two summers ago, Parsonsfield delighted the campers/volunteers only crowd at Philadelphia Folk Fest.  Just brining back memories of that night with Sturgill Simpson should be enough to sell out this show!   Parsonsfield.com/tour/

March 2014 - Darlingside - "The Woods"
Oh look who it is: Darlingside - WXPN's album of the month for February 2016 and part of the XPoNential Festival and Non-Comm lineup's.  Is that enough buzz for you?  How about a string of sold out venues with David Wax Museum?
My mismatch pick for this tour is Darlingside and Twain at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh on April 30th.

March 2014 - Tall Heights - "Running of the Bulls"

Shhhhh.. Tall Heights are still playing small intimate places.  Tell your friends and make sure everyone of these dates are packed!!

July 2014 - Joe Fletcher with Andrew Combs and Ron Gallo - "Mabel Grey"

Do not sleep on this guy.  Joe Fletcher is a great storyteller and a must see.  He ALWAYS plays among some super talented folk, like this video above with Jerry Bernhardt, Ron Gallo, and Andrew Combs.
Find him on tour this spring with the likes of Brian Wright, JP Harris, and The Devil Makes Three.  If you're available, May 20th at Ram's Head in Baltimore with TDM3 should be quite amazing.

 July 2014 - Ron Gallo - "Young Lady, You're Scaring Me"

Ron Gallo just dropped an EP this week featuring "Young Lady, You're Scaring Me".  Go get it and come right back.  Ron Gallo is everywhere so keep an eye out on his tour page, as magic happens quickly.
