When the stars were out and the wind danced through the trees like a whirlwind serenade.\nAnd so\, music was in my bones. Life’s mysterious undercurrents made sure of that.\nWrestled an alligator\, fought a tornado\, and been everywhere twice. Ran away with the circus when I was 16 and spent a few years as a tent rigger. Started writing songs when I was hiking the Appalachia trail. Thoroughly convinced I’ve been reincarnated and landed in the wrong decade. I write a lot about the mountain I grew up on. Spend a lot of time in corners talking to myself.”\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3EJnVeutnaoGlikPCqAnlb…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0o1GVJXhM66Mls5a0ZdVcY…\n2) Jared Fiske\nJared is best known for his work as a solo performer and songwriter\, and as a member of the popular Americana/rock outfit “The Casters”. He also performs in an acoustic duo with his wife\, Jessica\, under the pseudonym “Never Say Never”. Hailing from an artistic family\, Fiske began performing in musical groups with his father\, Rob Adams\, and brother Seth at a young age.\nFiske’s original song “Choice” was selected for use in a short film by the non-profit organization Planetaid.org. Worcester Magazine said of his most recent album “We’re Already Gone” that “there’s really no way to prepare oneself for how achingly beautiful and melancholy Jared Fiske’s new album is.” (Victor Infante).\nYou can catch Jared performing at bars\, coffeehouses and festivals throughout Massachusetts.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3RDGKiEwa8OEEp97FXHeHT…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/7Kkvc4MMve9h244WgtIAX1…\n3) Sean Lemkey\nSean Lemkey is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Sean is best known for his involvement as vocalist and cofounder of the folk-rock band “Among The Acres”. Lemkey fuses an ethereal and yearning energy with an evocative modern indie-folk-pop sensibility. Taking up the drums at age 5\, he would go on to study the instrument for 13 years before later teaching himself guitar in college.\nAs a drummer\, guitarist\, songwriter and collaborator\, Lemkey has been involved in dozens of projects over the past decade\, spanning a breadth of genres and styles. During the isolating pandemic winter of 2022\, Lemkey decided to finally embark on the journey of writing and recording his first ever full length solo LP\, which was released in April 2023.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3BjdBVNOQuPkQpmijQcbfF…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0yuIVXce2OqVpCg4hsAHrI…\n4) Dylan Patrick Ward\n“He’s funny. He’s also as serious as an ax-handle.”-Peter Mulvey\nKnown for songs that are by turns heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud funny\, Dylan Patrick Ward is a Vermont-based singer-songwriter whose sharp lyrics and sweet melodies present the world in all it’s absurd and tragic glory.\nHis empathy and candor have drawn comparisons to the Mountain Goats\, John Prine and Randy Newman\, and since arriving on the scene in 2021\, he’s become increasingly respected and recognized in the worlds of both folk and underground music\, and has played respected venues such as Club Passim in Cambridge\, MA.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/10HZsfEwXhuz0OtXgub6dk…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0AYP0BsocIYKc13mvJDMxW…
