Blue State Boy

No stranger to music with a message, Nashville singer/songwriter Donal Hinely reunites with producer David Henry (R.E.M., Cowboy Junkies, Slaid Cleaves, Gretchen Peters) to deliver a timely and provocative meditation on the turmoil and division of today. With its scaled down instrumentation and Newport Folk sensibility, the mostly acoustic Diary of a Snowflake offers a salve for despair and despondency, giving voice to those who are deeply troubled by the rising specter of racism, the erosion of societal norms and civility, the quiet death of decency, and the weakening of democracy. Drawing comparisons over the years to everyone from Guy Clark and Robyn Hitchcock to Arlo Guthrie and John Prine, Hinely spins his yarns with catchy hooks and engaging melodies, all bolstered by Henry’s signature strings and melodic mandolin lines.
