LISTEN TO FAULKE YOU:
IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING
I'm a solo acoustic singer/songwriter from Salem MA.
Started singing and playing solo in 2006. I had promised a host of an open mic I would pay there, and had to cancell many times because the singer who would have performed with me would cancel...after the 4th try, I decided to take a song I had with two verses. I had never sang because I hated my voice, so I lowered my guitar tuning to find a compatible range for my vocal ability, and I went to perform at the open mic. After I was done performing, I got a thunderous response, and many people loved the lyrics and the vocals. With that encouragement, I proceeded to write and perform more and more.
I was always fascinated by the emotional journey that a tune would take someone on. My songs are written from what my heart and soul see around me.. its sad that there is so much happening, and nothing much I could do about it -- so I try to reach listeners with what I feel. I love playing outside, and in the summer I perform alot down on Newbury and Dartmouth streets in Boston. Other than that I play a lot of open mics.
LISTEN TO BURNING DOWN BROADWAY:
CAN'T KEEP THE FAITH
There are no gimmicks when it comes to Burning Down Broadway's "Time Is Money." It's as honest of an attempt as it gets. The title of the band's third release since 2007 is a true testament to where they are at today. Brothers, Dylan and Max Hayden, Jeff Bazzo, and Kevin McManus make up the current lineup, which has been active since May 2007. The Cleveland based quartet has worked on a struggling music scene since they were kids and their passion has taken them to stages throughout the Midwest before enthusiastic crowds-- or no crowd at all. This July BDB will be celebrating their 8th anniversary as a band with the release of the eight-song-record "Time Is Money" at The Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights on July 23. Burning Down Broadway continues to earn their respect in Cleveland and beyond with each passing year. Their high-energy performances and their straightforward rock music tells it all.
