Pete Molinari:
When Bruce Springsteen was asked by Edward Norton during his interview at the Toronto Film Festival about what music he was listening to these days his reply was simple and direct: “Pete Molinari – and if you don’t know anything about him, he’s great”.
Praise indeed, but in many ways hardly surprising. The Boss is well known for keeping his ear to the ground when it comes to new sounds and considering Pete’s nomination as Best Newcomer at UK rock magazine’s Mojo Awards, his appearance on BBC’s Later With Jools Holland and the critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic (a recent residency in LA was a huge success) for latest album A Train Bound For Glory it was never going to be too long before the man from New Jersey clocked the boy from Chatham.
If you haven’t done so yourself, give him a try. You’ll be in good company.
Amelia White:
Raised In Virginia, and based in Nashville, Amelia White cut her musical teeth in the New England area, in the same scene that produced Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna and Sarah Borges. Her music has been described as hard rocking -folkin -alt-art country… Her Albums BLUE SOUVENIRS and BLACK DOVES (funzalo Records 2006) put her on the map with critical acclaims nationwide, steady non-com radio play, appearances on E-Town and NPR’s All Songs Considered and various TV placements. … the most current being a spot on FX JUSTIFIED …an episode which features Dave Alvin…..Amelia’s latest album release, MOTORCYCLE DREAM, is available Summer 2009.
MORE ABOUT AMELIA WHITE
“The songs come out of me hard and heavy– regularly. They walk the line between Neo Folk, raw well made rock, and rootsy pop. They have a lot of heart, and a good dose of intellect, and every few songs have a political and social consciousness….sometimes you have to listen twice to get em, though some can easily grab hold of you like an old hank williams. Some call them Indie Country, some Americana, Some Folk Rock. To me they are the stories of my life and love and what I see in my friends eyes, strangers stories. they are miniature 3-3and1/2 minute films. Writing to music comes to me like breathing and or eating, and its as pleasurable upon completion as great sex.”
Now with a new album in hand entitled MOTORCYCLE DREAM Amelia continues to prove that she’s a prolific writer with something to say and intensity to her cinematic lyrics that will stand the test of time. She’s already attracted a partnership with Art Ford Music Agency (L.A.) to shop the new tunes to TV and Film. MOTORCYLCE DREAM was recorded mostly live in Nashville with Producer Neilson Hubbard and a small core band of her favorite Nashville and Boston Players, most notably JJ Jackson (Dylan) Marco Giovino (Glen Tilbrook) and Russell Chudnofsky (Lori McKenna). Two of the 11 tracks were produced and recorded by Lex Price.
“My band lately walks the line between a caveman airplane up in the sky at high speed almost ready to fall apart, and a fine glimmering jewel…”
MOTORCYCLE DREAM explores addiction, political and personal bullies, redemption, stranger’s heart-aches, and new love. Amelia is known for her unadulterated live performances and charisma. She is a true artist and will continue to write and play her songs regardless of lack of funding, current trends, or gas prices.

Seattle Stranger
“Love songs give way to landscapes, both confesstional and wider than herself, with details that never intrude on the sonic thrust.”
Roy Kasten – No Depression
“Its no wonder that Amelia White is being touted as the next Lucinda Williams…but White has her own strong songs, and strong style”
