East Of Shirley is a 5-piece ensemble from the Groton, MA area that plays an eclectic musical mix, from contemporary acoustic to blues, roots, and Americana. The group performs both original compositions and covers by artists as diverse as Bruce Cockburn, Steve Goodman, John Martyn, and Lowell George. East of Shirley's songs tell tales that are deeply personal and subtly political. The band's recently-released debut album "A Thousand Sarajevos" is available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/eastofshirley.
Hey, It's Dave Clupper. If I haven't told you thank you for your support yet, thank you! Check out the video below for a live clip shot from Downtown Tulsa with my daughter Ellen. Also, stop by my profile and enjoy a majority of my new record "Letting Go" released earlier this month. If you want to own a copy, look for the Buy Now Button on my profile or to just own a track, visit iTunes by clicking here. Talk soon!
Wood Spider would like to cordially invite you to 115 Franklin St, a neighborhood punk house in Allston, MA. We are lucky enough to be sharing the stage (basement floor) with O Pioneers!!!, FORT! the Band, Interrobang?! and the Brave Little Abacus! Get there at 7 to see us play!
Admission is free, but bring some a few bills anyway, to help out the touring bands (OP!!! has made their trek all the way from Texas!)
You have our eternal thanks,
-WS
Our hope for the new year is that we all encourage the positive energy in our lives and enjoy the day to day, leaving good will and love in our wake.
Paul McCartney was right when he sang, “The love you take is equal to the love you make.”
Our wish for the new year is that we Americans have chosen a good and decent man to lead the free world by example of integrity and reason. One who will set the tone for a world at peace and engaged in making the future a lot better than the recent past.
“You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” John Lennon
So, here’s the Bossa Nova Beatniks’ New Year's message in song.
