“I write positive uplifting songs in celebration of the Earth, the Universe, Life, and Love! My music is danceable, covers several genres, and is enjoyed by people of all ages. I perform at festivals and venues in New England and I am expanding my touring. My influences include many live performances by many great bands from an early age to the present, my dad and uncles guitar playing and in-depth vinyl sessions, various rock, folk, blues, reggae, soul, funk, bluegrass, jam, grunge, punk, ska, etc. While studying Environmental Science in college, I played guitar and sang covers and few originals at venues in RI and CT just for fun. I had a musical explosion in 2009 when my 2 babies became busy toddlers and I found it easier to pick up my guitar than get my messy paints out. I wrote at least 20 songs, started performing at festivals and other venues, put out a live cd in 2010 and put out my first studio cd, “Positivity” recorded 2011 at Mojo Audio in Easton, NH. I am looking to collaborate with other artists, play some larger venues, promote my music and new cd, and increase the Positivity of the Planet in the process.” |

A powerhouse performer with or without the band… Jonathan plays with abandon, on tours across the USA, Italy, Austria, Spain and Portugal, garnering worldwide radio play, press praise, and a notable USA and Europe fan base. Jonathan muses, “ My aim as a songwriter and performer is great rock songs that hit like a missile, big on impact and explosive emotion, a big molecule-rearranging sound that cuts through the radio drone and people shout: ‘holy #!*$!!, who was that?!’
The Speakeasy Trio rocks the ArtWalk with live music on the patio of Root every hour on the hour from 3 to 7pm! With Wayne Klinger on sax, Dave Saikin on guitar and Jeanne Robillard on vocals, you will be in for a jazz treat!
Fifth Business celebrates the acoustic sound in music sometimes reminiscent of pub singing. Kate, Steve and Hannah Davie, Heather Alger, Nick Anzalone, and Stuart Corso place a strong emphasis on vocals. Their songs and tunes range from traditional a cappella singing to more complex arrangements wiht instrumentation by guitar, fiddle and button accordian. They draw from musical roots set in American, English and Celtic tradition, as well as some of Steve’s more contemporary compositions.
