Kaiti Jones â Weak Days
March 16, 2021
Kaiti Jones performs Weak Days live at the Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough, MA, for a Front Row Boston socially-distant session. Jones is a natural songwriter and storyteller; her lyrics rooted in existential angst or failed romances that grow into retrospective anecdotes. I often write or finish songs years later, when I m able to look back with a new perspective and less pain, she explains. Jones s sophomore album Tossed furthered this practice and allowed her to confront daunting questions. It was produced by Daniel Radin (Lake Saint Daniel, Future Teens), who joins her on guitar during the session.
Squirrel Flower â Streetlight Blues
January 26, 2021
Squirrel Flower performs Streetlight Blues live at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA, for a Front Row Boston socially-distant session. Ella O Connor Williams discovered the Boston DIY and folk music scenes when she was a teenager. Last year, she released her debut
I Was Born Swimming, a poetically-charged album that landscapes change and the shift within relationships. There s so much in the record about movement and stagnation, Williams said. Feeling stuck, needing to move, needing to stay still, swimming, falling, running, growing, etc, etc. The album s lyrics feel like an effortless expression of exactly the way it feels to change â abstract, sad, and hopeful. Williams took home the award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Boston Music Awards.

As we ve needed more space to live our lives almost completely between our own four walls, the kitchen has stepped up to be a family room, office, schooling room, and more, making it a prime place to invest in this year.
