03.21.08Emerging Songwriters: Meg Hutchinson Casts A Net Of Inspiration To Come Up FullThe seaport city of Boston, rich in musical tradition and heritage, has a legacy of turning out notable songwriters and musicians dating back generations. If you're a follower of that long-standing tradition (or you happen to be one of the lucky ones who live there and get to experience it on a regular basis), you might have occasioned to stumble into places like Club Passim or The Middle East without expectation only to stumble back out deeply impressed with what you've just seen. This legacy has given root to Meg Hutchinson, a songwriter whose angelic voice, extraordinary ...

02.28.08Emerging Songwriters: Rachel Ries Turns Classical Training Into Classic Songwriting.The field of American songwriting, at least the kind we like to remember, never seems to grow too crowded. There's always room for one more, particularly if the delivery and style can be likened to a heritage of memorable works. I remember being dragged to Joel Plaskett's hotel room the second night of Folk Alliance 2008 where an impromptu songwriter's circle had formed. I had this sense that I was smack in the middle of some of the best songwriters going -- Colin Gilmore, Peter Case, Cory Branan, Adam Levy, Rose Cousins -- and I was told ...

02.26.08Emerging Songwriters: Anthony da Costa’s Precocious Streak of Genius Runs Deep.I think it must be damning on the soul to never recognize the potential for greatness that lies just under the surface of each of us. I mean, we toil endlessly at these jobs, these relationships, these goals we set for ourselves, and some of us never figure out how good we really are at what we are until the years have slipped by us. Anthony da Costa is in no danger of being struck by this curse. At the tender age of 17, da Costa has quietly made a name for himself throughout the Northeastern U.S. ...

02.22.08Emerging Songwriters: Graham Weber’s Tales of American Life UngluedI really want to share a video with you to help you fully understand and embrace the classic American songwriting style and unencumbered delivery of songwriter Graham Weber, one of many young up-and-coming folk artists whose presence at Folk Alliance 2008 is everywhere. However, the obviously purposefully overpriced and spotty internet service at the Downtown Marriott (along with the cold water in the bathroom sinks and other cost-cutting signs of Marriott's unhinged corporate greed which are not the fault of the Folk Alliance) prevent me from sharing. For now, check out this song from Weber's newest album, The ...
