Mel
A concert junkie and all-around music nut, I grew up in a house filled with records by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, CSNY, Simon & Garfunkel, and Blondie. Buffalo Springfield was our standard road music. Whether in the background or front-and-center, music was always playing in my house, so it's not surprising that throughout my childhood I worked as a babysitter just to earn money to buy cassettes. (The later transition to CD was painful and expensive.)
After growing up in New York, I lived for ten years in Tennessee, but my true home is in Boston--a city whose rich music scene includes some of my favorite singer-songwriters, including Rose Polenzani, Jordan Caress, and Antje Duvekot, and great indie pop/rock bands like Choo Choo La Rouge, Blanketeer, and Scotch Rocks. I might take up permanent residence in Cambridge's legendary Club Passim, if only the chairs were more comfortable, at the Lizard Lounge, if the chairs actually faced the front of the stage, or at Toad, if it were actually big enough to lay down in.

Jordan Caress/Scotch Rocks
One of the best up-and-coming Boston singer-songwriters, Jordan Caress was also one of the lead singers/guitarists in the super-loud indie rock band Scotch Rocks and lent her amazing backing vocals/bass guitar to various local acts including Rose Polenzani and Session Americana. She just moved to Nashville, which is a huge loss to Boston. But if you live in the South, make sure to check her out.
