Backyard Songwriters Series 2 - On the Patio
8-13-2015
Three great acts perform on our outdoor patio.
Full menu and bar available under the stars.
Dan Masterson
Dan is a Boston-based songwriter who pairs honest, soulful writing with dynamic, powerful vocal performances. His blend of piano-centric pop and rock evolves with each release. The piano-pounding pop-rocker recently drew praise of regional radio jockeys and promoters as he competed in The New England Music Awards’ Last Band Standing in Massachusetts competition — one of just seven acts statewide to make the final round amid a pool of nearly five hundred submissions.
Tracey Walton
Current New England Music Award nominee for Best Male Performer; Tracy Walton has never been afraid to re-invent himself. In this spirit, Tracy released the aptly titled “Brand New Again” in 2011. At once rough and vulnerable, Tracy’s voice cuts to the heart of any story, taking you down back roads, through broken lonely hearts, and into hopeful, open skies. Tracy picked up his first guitar at the age of 10. He quickly realized that his ear bent towards the low end, and he switched to bass. His teen years brought a string of punk and hard rock bands, local glory, and a gig teaching at an area music store. But alas, the journey to rock and roll stardom has many bumps, and when the only apartment he and his band could afford was condemned, he knew he was in serious need of a plan B.
The Meadows Bothers
The Meadows Brothers get along pretty well, considering they’ve been around each other for 19 straight years. Sure, they still have the occasional argument about whether to listen to Tom Petty, Townes Van Zandt, or Doc Watson in the car, or what songs to put on the set list for the night’s gig, but overall, they keep it pretty cool.
So how is it that two people who have spent their entire lives together, don’t occasionally want to smack each other? Older brother Ian, 21, has an answer. “Music. We get to play music together, and when you stop and just think about how cool that is; it’s pretty tough to get upset about any of the small stuff.”
