A Decade of CT Music: 2018

November 30, 2019

We are winding down this exercise and I hope for those of you who read along it was as enjoyable as it was for me. I really had a long, wonderful stroll down memory lane and got to revisit some of my absolute favorite records in the process. Each one of these posts has consistently … More A Decade of CT Music: 2018

A Decade of CT Music: 2017

November 29, 2019

2017 was a crazy year, filled with some indelible memories that I’ll cherish forever. Not the least of which was seeing my first two books published in February and April of that year. (Plus my beloved Philadelphia Eagles would finally win a Super Bowl following the 2017 season.) 2017 was also another banner year in … More A Decade of CT Music: 2017

A Decade of CT Music: 2016

November 26, 2019

Another year, another grouping of stellar albums. 2016 was only three years ago, yet for some reason it seems like a decade ago. When I was putting these albums together I was shocked by how many of them were released in 2016. I could have sworn most of these records were released long before. 2016 … More A Decade of CT Music: 2016

A Decade of CT Music: 2015

November 25, 2019

We’ve crossed the halfway point to this exercise and so far I think the one thing that’s been hammered home for me is that it’s nearly impossible to truly bookmark every great release by Connecticut bands. 2015 was another exceptional year with a handful of amazing debuts, and follow-up albums that exceeded their predecessors. It … More A Decade of CT Music: 2015

A Decade of CT Music: 2014

November 21, 2019

We continue on with our multi-part series examining Connecticut music and highlighting some of my favorite albums. This time around we crack open 2014. 2014 was a huge year for me personally. I left the Courant to take a job at the then Glastonbury Chamber of Commerce and later that October I booked my first … More A Decade of CT Music: 2014

A Decade of CT Music: 2013

November 19, 2019

The original idea for this crazy project was to turn it into a book. I quickly realized that was going to be way more work than I wanted to take on right now so instead you’re stuck with this 10-part blog post. There are two records in particular that popped into my head one day … More A Decade of CT Music: 2013

Broads – Stay Connected

November 12, 2019

There are storytellers, and there are artists who paint vivid pictures with words and music. There are artists willing to look inward, and there are those willing to bare it all, exposing raw, vulnerable soul to the world around them. There are artists who can make you feel, and those that make you melt within … More Broads – Stay Connected

A Decade of CT Music: 2012

November 11, 2019

Welcome back for Part 3 of our 10-part series examining some of my favorite releases from Connecticut musicians over this last decade. 2012, like most years, was a bit of a blur. My wife spent most of it pregnant with our fourth (and final) child who we welcomed into the world on the same day … More A Decade of CT Music: 2012

A Decade of CT Music: 2011

November 1, 2019

We continue our look at this past decade of CT music with a dive into 2011. Honestly, I don’t remember a lot about 2011. I had to look up what major world events went down. (I remember where I was when they announced Bin Laden was dead. I was watching a Phillies game.) I do … More A Decade of CT Music: 2011
