Top story from mixer

Boston-based singer/songwriter eric-jon spent about a decade with his band, Parker House and Theory, catching the attention of some pretty big names in the entertainment business.

In what started as a couple of friends venturing from acting into music, the rock act solidified their status by opening up for acts like O.A.R., Robert Randolph and the Dropkick Murphys.

Zorch's Zac and Schmu

Traeger and Shmu self-released their first EP and offered it as a free download through their website and gave their fans the opportunity to design their own CD cases at live shows. Disregarding notions of intellectual property, they post the stems to all their songs online as well, ready to be mixed and morphed to each listener’s content.

Editor's Note
