New England Music Reviews

Welcome to New England Music Reviews!
The first concert Justin Shatwell ever saw was Hootie and the Blowfish about two years after they stopped being famous. He's still trying to live that down. As part of his musical penance, he now writes New England Music Reviews, a showcase for small (and some not-so-small) indie artists with roots in New England. Justin believes that, like vegetables, the best music is grown locally. Read the reviews, listen to the music, and get a taste of the local flavor for yourself.
