Wake Owl Live In Studio
Equipped with only an acoustic guitar and a violin, brand new Vancouver, BC/Portland, Oregon band, Wake Owl visited the WERS studio and played a couple of tracks from their first EP Wild Country. A four member band consisting of musicians Colyn Cameron, Aiden Brant-Briscall, Josh Daignault, and Andy Shauf, the session was executed by just two [...]
Jukebox The Ghost Live In Studio
Despite coming to the WERS studio at the end of a nearly two month long tour, Jukebox the Ghost was by no means lacking energy during their set. The indie-pop band, known for their dynamic and peppy live performances, and cheerful instrumentals, played 3 songs off of their third and latest album, Safe Travels. The [...]
Night Moves Live In Studio
The term psychedelic-country is an unusual and seemingly arbitrary genre tag used to describe the music of Minneapolis band Night Moves that didn’t quite make sense until I actually saw them in person. The description of their music manifested itself in their presence more obviously than in their music, with their style being half hippy, [...]
Butterworth & Co. Live In Studio
It was hard to guess what type of music local Boston act Butterworth & Co were going to play when they arrived at the WERS studio. With one member wearing a Run DMC shirt, another wearing a paperboy hat, and another wearing a flannel shirt circa 1992, it was really anyone’s guess. The band kicked [...]
Meg Hutchinson Live In Studio
Long time friend of WERS, Meg Hutchinson stopped by to play us a few songs for Live Music Week. A Western Massachusetts native, and Bostonian for the past decade, Meg is no stranger to the WERS studios: Meg began her career by busking in the Boston subways and receiving “brutally honest” feedback, until the WERS [...]
Jimmy Ryan Live In Studio
The wonderful thing about Live Music Week here at WERS is not only the multitude of in studio performances that we have in for listener enjoyment, but our ability to secure local Boston acts that showcase what our city has to offer. One of these acts is Jimmy Ryan, a star on the Boston bluegrass [...]
The Dunwells Live In Studio
The Dunwells, a folk-rock outfit from the UK, came to the WERS studio as a trio to perform for live music week. The band acquired their name in a rather logical fashion, borrowing the surname of band members and brothers Joseph and David. On top of all of the familial chemistry within the group, the [...]
Concert Watch: March 21st-22nd
Concert-goers, spring has sprung, though you wouldn’t know it from all the flower sprouts buried deep beneath this hideous slush. What’s the anecdote? Good music, of course, and there’s plenty of diverse options for you this week. Tyler, the Creator – Paradise Rock Club, Thursday March 21st This is progressive rap right now, and indie [...]
Lady Lamb The Beekeeper Live In Studio
Hailing from Brunswick, Maine, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper (the stage name of Aly Spaltro) packs a hefty, emotional punch with her music. Whereas most bands like to fill up the studio with guitars, keyboards, drums, and other various instruments, our Lady Lamb likes to keep it simple. Armed with a beautiful Fender Jazzmaster, a classic [...]
Grace Kelly Live In Studio
When most people turn twenty, they’re usually in college. If they were particularly precocious, maybe they’re already working their first job, trying to pay the rent and their grocery bill. However, some people defy those standards. Take, for example, Brookline-based Grace Kelly, for example, who at the age of twelve kicked off a successful jazz [...]

The project is a tribute to the morna of Cape Verde and Brava set in the 1940s. Andrade-Watkins worked with a team of faculty and staff members from Emerson to bring Serenata [...]
