SUMMARY:Zion Rodman
DESCRIPTION:Zion Rodman\n\n\n\n\n\nUnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116\n\n\n\nZion Rodman is a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter. He grew up in Cape Cod where he played around since the age of 15 and eventually received a B.A. in music from the University of Massachusetts in Boston. \n\n\n\nIn 2017\, Zion teamed up with producer Alex Katz and released his debut full-length record You’re Invited. The folk-rock album received praise and local media attention following its anticipated release. Crossfader Magazine wrote that in an era of “lo-fi bedroom projects\, it’s refreshing to hear a young creative voice this professionally produced\, fully realized\, and cohesively structured around a distinct personality and energy.” \n\n\n\nLess than a year later\, Zion released an EP titled “Did Not Wake up Today” on January 20th\, 2018. This project features heavier topics and harder rock than his debut album. Even before its release\, the title track was recognized by AFROPUNK: “Rodman turns up the volume of his melodic indie pop\, with his stunning voice just barely masking his anger beneath the hook.” \n\n\n\nHis most recent album “Whatever Happens” was recorded in Chicago and released in 2020. Zion currently lives in Boston with his fiancé and their cats. Check the calendar for upcoming shows\, or catch the full band every Fourth Friday at Ford Tavern or at the Melodies On Tap open mic every First Thursday at Medford Brewing.

SUMMARY:Goodwin
DESCRIPTION:Goodwin\n\n\n\n\n\nUnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116\n\n\n\nIf you have seen them live\, or listened to their recordings\, you know that Goodwin is not an easy band to pin down. Indie Funk? Reggae Folk? Art Rock? \n\n\n\nPerhaps they can best be described as both raw and sophisticated. That is\, the songs are unadorned with extraneous frills while offering myriad layers of complexity. \n\n\n\nComprised of Emily Campagna on vocals\, Jason Fletcher on guitar\, Yahuba Garica on percussion\, Michael E Goodwin on vocals/guitar\, Matt Lydon on drums\, and Ethan Stewart on bass\, Goodwin has become an integral and inspired feature of the contemporary sonic landscape. \n\n\n\nExperimentation is always the thing for this band. As such\, Goodwin has welcomed a host of musicians to the stage and into the studio\, notably Danny James on piano\, Ben Lester (Bon Iver\, S Carey) on pedal steel\, Yinfei Li on violin\, Peter Maclean (Maceo Parker) on drums\, Kathleen Parks (Twisted Pine) on fiddle\, Cory Pesatruo on accordion\, Anne Preis on violin\, Chris Sartori (Twisted Pine) on bass\, Celia Sieckert on cello\, and Tamer Tarhan on viola. \n\n\n\nThe band recorded their first album “The Hunt\,” in June of 2023 at The Halo Studio in Windham\, Maine with engineer and co-producer Jonathan Wyman. The final track “Tetons\,” was reviewed by Global Tunes in a fashion that speaks to the ethos of Goodwin’s overall approach: “This track is built little by little until an explosive expressiveness is achieved without losing a sense of softness and sweetness.”  \n\n\n\nFollowing a slew of performances to promote their first album\, the band began work on their second full length record “The Monarch and The Milkweed.” The first two singles\, “Needs” and “New England Man\,” were recorded in February 2024 at Mad Oak Studios in Boston with engineer and co-producer Benny Grotto. The bulk of the album was recorded once again at The Halo Studio with Jonathan Wyman in June of 2024.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@goodwintunes \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@goodwintunes \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.goodwintunes.com
