Pushing the Scene

Kudos to Joe Graham, Lowell resident and host of WMBR's Thursday afternoon radio show Droppin Knowledge, for all his efforts to support and promote the Lowell music scene which seems to be happening everywhere except Lowell. Weekly guests from the area have included Jen Kearney, producer Bob Nash, Audrey Can't Die, and up and coming artist /songwriter Leo Blais.

In addition to the radio show, Joe is putting the finishing touches on a Lowell cable TV show, Local Anesthetic, which will be featuring live, in-studio performances and interviews from some of the Mill City's growing list of original artist musicians.

Next Thursday, October 15th, local tune smith Melvern Taylor and His Fabulous Meltones will be trekking down to the MBR studios for a live, on-air performance and the following Thursday, Jen Kearney will be doing the same. And once again, the Greater Boston area will be discovering something many of us already know: Lowell is a musical hot bed, a bona fide breeding ground, producing some of the best songwriters and musicians up and down the East Coast.
