August 21, 2024 was a fantastic radio show with three big guests: an interview with Main Era, an acoustic performance by Sophie Whiting featuring Chase Allardice, and last but certainly not least, tongue love with a live full band performance in our very own Studio Dee at WMFO. After their performance, I got to have this interview with them! Listen back, check out their new releases since this came out, and keep an eye out for upcoming gigs!

Highly Recommended with Mellow Max ·

2024/11/30

Wow! I don't want to toot my own horn (or take any credit for the raw talent of Jules' band!) but this recording came out SO well.

Goodway Studios — Jul. 24, 2024

2024/11/29

I love Goodway Studios. When you see Mo and Ian and their helpers wearing Goodway Studios shirts at a show, you know it's going to sound good. Plus, they're the nicest guys around! When I got serious about wriggling my way into Boston's music scene, these two were the first to remember my name and welcome me into the fold. If you're interested in seeing what these guys do and how they do it, check out the Goodway Studios YouTube channel! I can't include the copyrighted music we played on air but

The Infinite Wet Secret — Jul. 10, 2024

Highly Recommended with Mellow Max ·

2024/11/29

It's not unusual for me to get really excited about local bands. Maybe there's something in the water, maybe Boston has a really incredible crop of musicians and a less-than-perfect-but-nonetheless-functional underground music scene, or maybe it's like how local produce just tastes better... But I think that The Infinite Wet Secret is one of the most exciting new bands in the Boston music scene. They pull in surf rock, psych, prog, and a dozen other genres into one infinite and wet secret... Keep an
