Liz Phair, exiled in Q-ville with Joe Tooley, who should have gotten her to play the six string bass, but didn’t.
Buffalo Tom’s newest release
Heath Street – Heath Street
Their bio notes: “A Harvard-educated sound engineer who performs folk rock instead of going to class? It’s worth a listen. Heath Street front man Scott Fruhan, a Boston singer/songwriter and sound engineer, began his professional music career in 2000 after being unceremoniously tossed out of the “Sober in the Sun” folk festival for loudly opening a beer (on the way home, it finally dawned on him why everyone was so clean and friendly).”
The soft delicate sounds of Heath Street shed light to the essence of what it feels like to live in Boston.
Heath Street’s self titled album was mixed by Matt Beaudoin at Q Division.
Melissa Ferrick – In The Eyes of Strangers
Ferrick hunkered down in Studio A with Ethan Allen co-producing and engineering. The band featured Julie Wolf on keys and Daren Hahn on drums, alongside Melissa on guitar (of course) and a myriad of instruments besides. Erin McKeown, Tegan Quinn, Rachel Davis, and Natalia Zuckerman also make guest appearances!
Mark Bates – Wish I Was There
Mark Bates’s album Wish I Was There was released in 2006, and features Tom Polce in various guises (mixer, engineer, drummer, and bassist!). Produced by Mark Bates, it also features both Matt’s in engineering roles. Mark showcases his ease in the world of rock, not shying away from being sentimental or aggressive.
