This Saturday, we return home, and couldn’t be more thrilled to play the legendary Paradise Rock Club (tickets here). We’re also thrilled to have two fantastic bands opening the show, and shows are always better when you get familiar with what you’re seeing, right? In other words, do your homework… Toy Soldiers While we’d heard…

We asked, you answered. In other words, we did an US-weekly inspired ‘spot the differences’ photo contest and many of you totally procrastinated at work and responded.  Congrats to Jeff Bennett, who was the only one to spot all thirty differences.  Even Richard Simmons in the woods.  And a smurf. Jeff wins two tickets to…

Next week, we play our biggest hometown show yet at the Paradise.  In our excitement, we want to give away a couple tickets by challenging you to one of those US-weekly photo comparison things.

Ahead of tomorrow’s Lowell Summer Music Series show supporting Josh Ritter, some art. By a 14 year old. With a computer. This is the bestest thing ever. Watch the video showing each step along the way. Nice work, Jaidon.

Because we’re getting excited to support him at the Lowell Summer Music Series this Saturday. It’s going to be a…

Gobsmacked! In other words, the reviews from our Newport Folk Festival debut are rolling in. American Songwriter – “We were gobsmacked – GOBSMACKED – by the Boston band’s soulful, folk rockin’ shimmy on the Fort Stage” Billboard – “Special props ought to be given to a pre-rain, fest-opening set by energetic Boston mainstays Kingsley Flood” Rolling Stone – “puddle-splashing,…
