Alex Rosiewicz
“Alex was born and bred in Ayrshire, Scotland (Robert Burns country) and grew up surrounded by classical and Celtic music. His first instrument was piano. He transitioned to guitar in his early teens for many reasons including the “cool” factor but never quite gave up piano.
He lived in Southern England for several years where he became immersed in the English Folk Music scene and had the privilege of listening to and watching the likes of Richard Thompson, Martin Simpson, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Ralph McTell and so many others. Despite all that he was mostly known for ragtime, blues and Scottish music on the circuit.
Moving to the US in the mid-eighties like so many of us life and work took top priority but he never stopped playing, singing and writing with occasional small performances. During these years he became much more in tune with the work of American musicians like John Prine, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Lowell George, Chris Smithers and so many others. In recent years with the pressures of work diminishing he has been able to spend much more time at Coffee Houses, Open Mics, workshops and music camps (Frets and Refrains) and performing gigs again solo and with bands. He released an album “Far Horizon” in 2019 and is currently working on another”

Alien Drag
| Alien Drag comes in peace. They mean no harm.
These noise-laden hook merchants inadvertently crash-landed their intergalactic shuttle on Boston’s Northshore, and are now unable to escape Earth’s strong gravitational pull. Strong, that is, compared to their home planet’s. But, do not despair. In addition to spending their time assimilating to Earth’s customs, they also created “sound assemblages” in their spare time – just like they did back home. First came the sound assemblage album, Escape From Alpha. Next came three sound assemblage singles: “Lucky Trousers,” “RockMore,” and “Kiss Your Trash.” Relax, and take it all in. Consider it all a goodwill gesture. A peace offering, if you will, from Alien Drag to the planet Earth. It sounds just like it used to on the bridge of their Scrumbleship, as they traversed the galaxies. Earth-based reactions to Escape From Alpha: First of all: PLAY LOUD. Second of all, don’t listen to this collection expecting something either completely serious and conventional or something reputably avant-garde and somewhat boring. This is a curious mix of punk rock conventions yoked to bizarre, Queen-like grandiosity… ” “After repeated listenings, you’ll agree, Escape from Alpha proves to be a diamond in the rough from a very clever quartet of rockers.” “I love it, good music…” |

Britt Connors/Britt Connors Band
Britt Connors grew up surrounded by music of all kinds: the folk, rock, and jazz of her parents, the classical of her grandparents, and the pop of 80’s and 90’s radio. As such, the music she writes and plays is as eclectic as her background. After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in vocal performance and teaching voice lessons for a year, she moved to Somerville, MA with the sole purpose of learning guitar, crafting her first songs, and finding her place in the Boston music scene. Along the way, she met and married celebrated drummer Mike Connors, who has played in her band since 2008. Her three albums, The Bad Side of Good (released under her former name of Britt Sawdon), Warmer Season (under Britt Connors and Bourbon Renewal), and Longitude have celebrated her wide-ranging interests and influences, slipping nimbly and authentically between soulful ballads, pop-rock, and gospel-infused Americana. Her fourth work, a 6-song EP Exhale was released November 1st, 2024. The title cut, a whirling ¾ time rocking ballad with cello by Bethany Weiman reflects some of her influences, from Bonnie Raitt to Deb Talan and from Aimee Mann to Jason Isbell. Her stellar band of Boston greats, including Andrew Stern (guitar), Ed Lucie (bass), James Rohr (keys), and horn section led by Jerry Sabatini (trumpet) is featured on each track. When she’s not playing and singing, Britt can be found teaching Pilates in the restored carriage house she shares in Concord, MA with Mike and Ringo the Wonder-Cat.
