When they first formed in Boston several years ago, Twisted Pine had their feet planted fairly firmly in bluegrass not the traditional kind, but with enough drive from guitar, fiddle, mandolin and bass to make it clear where the band’s roots.
As was expected, the next few weeks are going to be rather quiet in terms of live music as many venues have shut their doors with the hopes that the current COVID-19 spike will calm down in a few weeks. Most of us spend a lot of time at home in.
Finding a richer sound

Since forming in 2014, the band Eavesdrop has been on an evolving musical journey. Singer Kara Wolf said that on their new self-titled release the group has finally found its true sound.
Hailing from Northampton, the group features Wolf, Kerrie Bowden and Laura Buchanan on vocals, Sturgis Cunningham on drums, Jared Quinn on guitar and Marc Seedorf, who also produced the album, on bass.
The eponymously titled disc, “Eavesdrop,” features 10 sharply written and produced tracks that find the group moving their Americana folk-pop sound forward with richer and bolder textures. Eavesdrop continues to be defined by the strong vocals of the three leading women and the way they blend their voices, but this album, with its intricate arrangements and a fuller, polished sound, is very much a band album.
