Mt. Shasta, the solo project of Easton singer-songwriter Andrew Sheldon, usually veers away from pop song structure. For example, take his debut EP, which features just three songs over 23 minutes and strays from traditional songwriting conventions for something much more minimalist and ambient.
This time, though, Sheldon let his pop sensibilities shine.
Easton art hub Connexions Gallery was the perfect backdrop for a carefully-curated night of performances that progressed from dreamy and ambient to awake and vibrant.
Andrew Sheldon is quickly emerging as one of our music scene’s hardest workers.
Local singer-songwriter John Hufford joins today’s episode of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. John tells us about his musical beginnings, how he became a songwriter, and his aspirations in this exclusive interview which also features a pair of live, in-studio performances.
Plus, we have some TRULY Stupid News, Somethin’ Good (and adorable), and plenty of variety in our musical selections!
It’s been a busy couple weeks for Alex Mery & The Townsmen.
I had the pleasure of supporting local music across our great Valley this Saturday night, trekking from Bethlehem on a mild (for January), foggy evening to hit both of the day’s Can’t-Miss Shows of the Week selections.
As 2016 winds down into its final days, I am encouraged by all of the signs of growth our music scene has shown this year.
