Day 23: February 21th, 2010
Kate Graves
 |
A poet who also happens to be a songbird, Kate Graves writes little songs....little songs that are raw. She tries to spread them around like wildflower seeds. She likes wildflowers. If she could be a plant, she would be a thistle branch. Her songs are sparse and filled with lots of little words. Often they are written about things like tasting a sweet orange on your lips and wanting to kiss someone, so that they might experience tasting sweet orange on their lips too. Her lovely, raw voice paired with her lyrical prowess create a force to be reckoned with and certainly one to be listened to.

Timmy Riordan
|
|
Timmy has been called ‘the hidden gem” of the Somerville/Cambridge music scene. In February 2009 he wrote and posted 28 songs on his website. This year he’s doing it again. He has also decided there should be 8 day in a week (in honor of the Beatles of course) and has invited 32 of his songwriting friends to support him through the month by each writing a song themselves. Over the last summer he recorded 8 of those songs on a CD entitled “Peter Let Me In.” Each CD includes an original cover, hand-drawn just for you in Sharpie by Timmy. Proceeds from this hand-crafted album are all going directed to the making of “New York’s Ignoring Me” his next studio album to be released in summer of 2010. |
