I am frequently awed by the talent displayed by young musicians, and Wisewater — a mostly bluegrass duo composed of Forrest O’Connor (mandolin, guitar, and vocals) and Kate Lee (fiddle and vocals) — is one such group that amazes me. The first time I […]
This was a show I decided to attend merely because it sounded interesting – a Boston-based musician and friends performing Michael Jackson’s Thriller on Halloween afternoon. What could be bad about that? As it turned out, it was a fantastic […]
