SUMMARY:Judy Collins: Sweet Judy Blue Eyes – Farewell at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most beautiful and moving voices” – Rolling Stone\n  \nJudy Collins inspires audiences with her sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and unwavering commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly. Here\, new generations bask in the glow of her iconic fifty-five-album body of work. Also\, they draw inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nFans and critics highly esteem the award-winning singer-songwriter for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards. Moreover\, she also receives acclaim for her own poetically poignant original compositions. For instance\, the Grammy Hall of Fame includes her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”. Judy’s dreamy\, intimate version of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns\,” won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammys. Furthermore\, she’s garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-selling albums. \nThe cultural treasure’s fifty-fifth release\, 2022’s Spellbound\, documents Judy’s artistic renaissance. Additionally\, the album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. Here\, Collins showcases twelve new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Thus\, Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. \n“They say after the plague came the Renaissance\,” Judy says with a good-natured laugh. “The truth is\, I didn’t do an album like this sooner because I had other projects on my mind. Now felt like the perfect time to make this record because\, after all that’s happened in the world\, we need something beautiful and inspirational to lift us up.” \nRecommended for fans of Joan Baez\, Joni Mitchell\, Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Their new studio album “King of the Dogwoods” seamlessly mixes genres from heavy noise to accapella vocals\, world music from Ireland to Serbia\, and a strong dose of the unexpected. “The remarkable thing is that BiL can come out so full of energy and desire after more than 40 years together. A real force to be reckoned with\, showing everyone how it should be done.” – Chris Nickson\, author and music journalist.  \nTodd Menton: Vocals\, Guitar\, Mandolin\, Bodhrán\, WhistleDrew Miller: Bass\, GuitarMorris Engel: Drum Kit \nBoiled in Lead’s musical recipe features guitar\, bass\, violin & drums that play country music from many countries with power and emotion.

Enthusiastic\, powerful\, technically brilliant\, playing a wealth of instruments with extreme dynamics\, the band routinely demolishes genres with its highly-identifiable sound. \n“One of the year’s best albums for sure.” – John Apice\, Americana Highways\nboiledinlead.com

He is known for his rootsy blend of soulful rock\, classic country\, and Irish folk music that The Current says “rings with the energy and swagger of a band of sailors in a crowded Irish pub”.

SUMMARY:Trench Size Trio
DESCRIPTION:A funky instrumental trio consisting of three of the twin cities most seasoned musicians (we’re talking fresh herbs –\nnone of the stale dried out store bought stuff). Trench Size Trio (TST) has been developing a sound and a body of\nwork for close to a decade and not showing any signs of slowing down. Tom Reichert is the founder and has been\nplaying with Joey Van Phillips for over two decades. So\, it’s no mystery that their symmetry together has been a\nnatural progression. Jim Anton\, a long-time touring musician to the stars\, has more recently settled down in the twin\ncities and has become a household name to musicians and listeners alike. Together the three have developed a very\nunique sound\, a cohesive musical bonding that gives a joyful listening experience. TST plays all original music\nleaning towards a back beat heavy sound with a jazz sense of improvisation. The melodies are catchy and quirky at\nthe same time\, but easily accessible to the average listener.\nTwo of their most recent compositions\, “Jiggle the Handle” and “Can We Sing”\, have been self-released and are\navailable on all streaming platforms.

SUMMARY:Arrested Development
DESCRIPTION:“deeply thoughtful with a generous splash of wit… invincible” – BBC\n  \nArrested Development delivers onstage energy to thirsty audiences looking to quench their soul! Thirty years ago\, Arrested Development slammed the gangsta dominated world of hip hop with defiant lyrics of hope. The message worked\, as AD became the first\, and only\, hip-hop artist to receive the Best New Artist Grammy. Additionally\, the group also received a Grammy award for Best Rap Single for their anthemic prayer- like hit song\, “Tennessee”. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame named it one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. Also\, VH1 listed it in their 100 Greatest Songs of the 90’s. \nMoney came in\, but not for precious stones and big cars. Instead\, they gave back\, becoming the first African American artists to donate money to Nelson Mandela and the ANC. They used their voices and their status to the benefit of many underprivileged brothers and sisters around the world. \nWith the success of the single “Mr. Wendal”\, Arrested Development brought the issue of homelessness to the forefront. Then\, the group donated half of the royalty earnings from “Mr. Wendal” to the National Coalition of the Homeless. Awards\, chart success and accolades continued to follow. Their song “Revolution” was written for Spike Lee’s Malcolm X film\, X. There\, it would forever be associated with one of the most important Spike Lee joints. \nTheir album\, 3 Years\, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…\, earned them two Grammy awards. Additionally\, they won two MTV awards\, a Soul Train Music Award\, and the NCAAP Image Award. Rolling Stone named them 1992’s Band of The Year\, while VH1 named them one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time! \nRecommended for fans of De La Soul\, Digable Planets\, Yasiin Bey and A Tribe Called Quest.
