Wow! We saw Jeremy Moses Curtis perform last night at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA, singing new songs from his solo album that comes out next month. He was joined by Mike Castellana.

Jeremy is an incredibly talented bass player and producer. It was a real treat to see him upfront singing and playing guitar.

If you want to be as awesome as you feel, go pre-order his album on Bandcamp. Right now. “Midlife Chrysler” comes out on October 6. When you pre-order it, he’ll give you one of the songs on the album. Link below.

Oh, hello, The Curtis Mayflower. We have most certainly missed you.

As the sun sets this evening, we’re just a little over a week away from The Curtis Mayflower at Vincent's…..and we want to know - will you be there?

YOU could be the mountain.

We have an online radio station that exclusively plays music by New England artists and bands because of legends like Rick Berlin. He has been recording and performing in the Boston area for 50+ years and is a mentor and inspiration to many musicians. He is one of the driving forces behind Jamaica Plain Music Festival and he's a book author, too. Cheers to you, Rick Berlin.

Scroll through for a few photos from Thursday night at Brighton Music Hall—“We’re All In This Together: A Celebration of the Music of Rick Berlin”

- Rick Berlin and his bands from over the years including a rare reunion performance by Orchestra Luna. They released their debut album in 1974 on Epic Records.

- The Sheila Divine performing as a duo: Aaron Perino + Brian Charles.

- Indie rock band Hallelujah The Hills. (Alas, we wandered off between performances and missed most of band leader Ryan Walsh’s enthusiastic testimonial about his friend and mentor)

- Nervous Eaters, a Boston punk/new wave band who got their start in 1973 (first live performance in 1977 at The Rat)
