 Author: Adam Signore (1/28/2023)

First post about the Original Music Showcase. First post on this blog. Lots of shows on Mark skin Radio and the hope is for lots of info at this blog!

Hey folks, If you're new to the Original Music Showcase (The OMS) this is a 2 hour program featuring local indie music primarily from Boston and New England that is almost 6 years old. Lots of great music comes to MSR & The Showcase every week so I want to put pen to paper as it were for folks to keep up with some highlights from the show. This first writing is far from complete and really is a few select highlights covering quite a period of time! I could write War & Peace on this topic. 


JVK: For this first writing going to give a wide ranging offering but as time goes on will probably be more focused on show to show info. But for today, lets start by talking about JVK, a killer band on the Boston scene that I would like to see getting more light and love shined on them. Check out the music of JVK on Spotify, Absolutely love the vibe of this band. The music is just amazing. Check it out. Check it out. Check it out! JVK is the brainchild of artist Joanna Krieger.




Paper Tigers: Another band that you should be checking out is Paper Tigers. Go listen to their tune "Portrait Of a Scene" at the Paper Tigers Spotify Page. If you go way back in their catalog you'll find a tune called Harvard Ave which will thrill any Boston music lover. Paper tigers is vocalist Michael Medlock, guitarist Bjarki Guðmundsson, bassist Matthew Hughes and drummer Ben Cuthbert




Feverslip: A fairly new band, with a new album on the horizon is Feverslip from Maine. built on the DNA of Red Sky Mary, Liv'n Brilliant, Victim of circumstance, This band harnesses some of the best talent north of the MA border. I got a cowbell and the only prescription is more Feverslip! Listen here! Feverslip is: Sam Vlasich – Vocals, Jordon Brilliant – Guitar, Liv Lorusso – Guitar, Brad Hartwick – Bass and Harrison Foti – Drums.



Eric Downing: Long time MSR listeners will be very familiar with The Cast Irons, a band we love dearly and were sad to see go. but rising out of that is the solo work of Eric Downing who's first single release "Wave Goodbye" will simply blow you away. Listen Here!







Crow Follow, what to say about crow Follow. their spacey yet rocking originals are low and swampy with an extra big wiff of Ether. Ethereal hard rock? do yourself a favor and check out their new album, Red Velvet Radio on Bandcamp! Crow Follow is: Tim Sprague Vocals & Guitar, Agent Judy Vocals, Percussion, Guitar, John Keegan Baritone Saxophone, L. Ramona Herboldsheimer Drums & Vocals, Carolyn Jean Corella Bass



Bogwrought: If you like swampy metal please check out Bogwrought from Plymouth, MA. These guys hit my sweet spot for this genre. The band just added vocalist Carrie Brum to the line up and new music is imminent. Take a listen here.

Bogwrought is comprised of Carrie Brum - lead vocals, Zak Welch - lead guitar, Matthew Benoit - rhythm guitar, Cyrenus Paquin - bass and Tim Cunningham - drums





Well, that is enough for today, will post again soon as bands return to my aging braincells and down the road the posts will be more "Show Centric". Keep up on a weekly basis by tuning into the Original Music Showcase on MarkSkinRadio.com, Friday's @ 6pm est

New Band Alert - The Electric Aces

Image
 Author: Adam Signore (01/29/23) I had the distinct pleasure to attend the debut performance of a new Central MA band called the Electric Aces.  The band is the brainchild of guitarist Chris Seremetis, who sought out players who could share his vision, collaborate and perform at a high level. Lizzie Leis, who I have had the pleasure seeing perform many times brings her thunder on vocals, Area veteran Dan Carter is pounding on bass. All three are veterans of the local cover band scene, Chris from ELEVEN, Lizzie from Project Alice, and Dan from Gloomy Sunday. All bands I have seen BTW. After a lengthy search for a new drummer, Nick Irvin was brought aboard. This is Nick's first band. While the band is very new, the players are not. The Electric Aces had their first rehearsal in late August 2022, and their first 3-song EP Powertrip was recorded in November at Jeff Instasi's studio (Six To One fame). Bad Marriage's Mike Fitz was brought in to mastered the tracks. The EP is a mo

 Author: Adam Signore (1/28/2023) This past December, The Original Music Showcase on Mark Skin Radio was honored with a nomination for Best Podcast/Radio Show Of The Year at the Boston Music awards. It is absolutely thrilling to be recognized for the efforts this category represents and be included with such other great local shows.  The Boston Music Awards Nomination Committee is an absolutely enormous entity rumored to be made up of over 400 Boston music scene insiders. Musicians, promoters, Radio DJs and more. To end up as a nominee you really have to get known for your craft across a wide range of people. The BMA's have been around since 1987 and has annually recognized musicians in just about all genres, promoters, photographers, radio shows and this year saw the inclusion of Spoken word artists.  Part of the Boston Music Awards mission is to grow the community with shows throughout the year. Of course the awards ceremony is a culmination of efforts and what I will focus on he
