"...rich, dexterous voice and pleasing folk-pop melodicism." 
--Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe

"After far too long a wait, singer/songwriter Melissa Morris has emerged from the open mic circuit with a concise volume of many stories. Opening with a jangly slap-funk support to a set of vocals that often soar over "Rooftop," Morris dips deeper into the groove for the percussive and pianistic title track. "Fall Into You" opens with moody, almost foreboding strings that wash through a nightscape lit by Morris's bright and breathy trills. "What Makes You Think" is a jazzy shuffle bedecked with Jewel tones while "Breathing Room" sparkles in a different way, returning to the slap-happy groove of the album's opener. Turning back to the milder moods, "For You" tells one more tale of faith and devotion before Morris gives it up to an old English professor for a plucky two-line rendition of "Tea In The Sahara" recorded live with fellow open mic ace Hugh McGowan. The wait was long and arduous, but hopefully this album is what its title says."

"Boston singer/songwriter Melissa Morris really shines on her debut album, Shape of Things to Come. From the first track, "Rooftop," I'm drawn into her and I'm digging it! Melissa's music blends nicely, making me want more. The second track, "Shape of Things to Come" is a beautiful ballad showing off Melissa's strong vocal talents. This is someone to watch out for in the Boston music scene."

 “Singer, songwriter and pianist Andre Balazs, a high-priest of hybridization and originality, leads his genre-crossing band, Bipolar Jukebox. A big, raspy-toned, emotionally wide-ranging singer—a mix of Tom Waits and Dr. John—and a classically and jazz-trained pianist, Balazs rumbles and rambles exuberantly over all styles. Both ecumenical and original, he's at home on the range galloping through classical allusions and pop music of all brands including funk, blues, jazz, cosmopolitan French café romps and stomps, world, rock and indie genres, plus not-yet categorized personal creations that, tsunami-like, pour out of his multi-polar jukebox of a band.”

Danielle Miraglia (murr-Ä L e a) comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson, an infectious stomp-box rhythm and harmonica.  Her tunes range from heart-felt to socially conscious and will move both your heart and hips.  Danielle's latest release “Box of Troubles” a bare-bones expression of all these attributes, explores the highs and lows that life has to offer and has already received rave reviews.  Alternate Root says “Danielle Miraglia’s guitar work keeps Delta traditions alive. Her steady thumb and playing style trace a direct line to the blues of the field and chicken shacks. Vocally, Danielle’s voice digs in, twisting within the delivery, seeming to break but more likely soaring before the fall. ‘Box of Troubles’ balances good times with the bad, her characters roles’ defined and believable.”
