The Meriden Daffodil Festival

April 16, 2020

For over a decade now the last weekend in April has been one of my favorite weekends on the calendar. It’s the weekend of the Meriden Daffodil Festival, a two-day festival held in the central Connecticut town of Meriden at their gorgeous Hubbard Park. Yes, there are vendors, carnival rides, tons of fried foods, and … More The Meriden Daffodil Festival

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’s never been this painful of … More 2015 (Non-Metal) Albums of the Year

Notes From the iPod Vol. 5

December 8, 2015

Another installment of what we’ve been rocking on the family iPod… Neko Case – “Bought and Sold” I had a chance to see Neko Case play Hartford last week with my 11-year old daughter. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to in all honesty. She pulled out a bunch of tracks from back … More Notes From the iPod Vol. 5

Review: Violent Mae – Kid

November 12, 2015

I know a place in my dreams where you can be a star… Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe that some things are just meant to be? We travel through life making left and right turns, careening around corners, often mistakenly avoiding what we need the most. But what if some paths are … More Review: Violent Mae – Kid
