A mix of musical styles from Rome, Wisconsin, New York, London and a couple of atrists based in and around Boston, MA.
Skinge - Tre D
Rome based band Skinge formed in 1999 and seem to play most of
their live shows around the Rome area.
You know, there's something quite attractive about the idea of
getting a £20 flight from the UK just to go to a gig and hang out
for a day or two.
Skinge
Roma ...
It was a very long time ago (1974) that I was working with Traffic
when we were attacked by the riot police in Rome. Now, I'm not
really one to bear a grudge so I think I have to get back to Italy
again soon.
Artists you think should be on the show.
I really don't want to break anyone's copyright. So, if the tune is
not on the Podsafe Music Network, I just need a written
authorisation to play a track. To get the ball rolling, just send
your suggestions by email to suffolkandcool
Tracy Jane Comer - Yellow Bike
A native of North Carolina now based in Madison, Wisconsin, Tracy
Jane Comer is a real find. She is a multi-instrumentalist and
award-winning singer/songwriter, presenting multi-flavored acoustic
originals. She earned nominations for both BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST and
BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM by Madison Area Music Awards in 2004 and 2005.
Whilst not wanting to put those awards down, I'm sure we'll hear a
lot more of Tracy Jane Comer. Her voice is delicious and believe
me, this song deserves repeated listens. If you like what you hear,
get on over to her website and place an early order for the CDs
before everyone's after them.

Edie Carey - Under a sky
Boston-based Edie Carey has been on my playlist for a while. With
her warm, graceful voice and her knack for cutting "into a
subject...with a diamond-edged blade," Edie Carey grabs hold of her
audiences and doesn't let go until she steps off the stage.
Although based in Boston, she travels far and wide as you'll see
from the Tourdates section on her website.
Edie has recently started recording a new album with producer Crit
Harmon.

Jim's Big Ego - Asshole
One of those wonderfully off-the-wall, quirky bands that are
certainly not going all-out for mainstream radio plays!
The only upcoming date on their website is for this Saturday (18th
March) at The Amazing Things Arts Center at Framingham, MA
Their most recent album, They're Everywhere features
characteristically witty, elegant songs delivered in a deceptively
simple style. Good stuff. www.bigego.com
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Johnny
Appleseed
A legend of the UK music scene, it's great to see Joe Strummer
showing up on the POdcsafe Music Network along with a whole load of
other Epitaph artists

Do me a Squeeze - Launch night
By all accounts the launch night went really, really well, putting
Do me a squeeze well and truely on the map of the London
club night scene.
