Bob Bradshaw walks a fine line. The tone of his voice floating over the arrangements of his songs is familiar and inviting, but still incredibly unique in the landscape of music we are all currently dwelling in. His songs roll off his lips and into a listeners ears in a seemingly effortless fashion, but if you know the songwriter on any sort of personal level you realize the dedication and persistence that went into each recorded note in the studio or each word that hit the page. This month sees a new record from the Irish born singer called “American Echoes” and from the press rolling already, it promises to be Bradshaw’s most prolific and introspective album to date.
Bradshaw’s 2015 release, “Whatever You Wanted” encompassed a real atmospheric vibe and this latest effort offers up a bit of the same. A keen focus on penning a song that will stick and bringing in some of the most renowned studio musicians that the Northeast has to offer, no element goes without careful consideration on this new one…not that we would expect anything less from Bob.
He and a stellar band will celebrate the release of “Echoes” this coming Friday at The Burren in Davis Square. Special guests Franc Graham Band join the line up. Music at 7PM sharp, don’t miss a moment and be sure to get your tickets in advance. With Bob’s previous release coming in at about 2 years ago and a strong Boston based following I am sure folks will be lining up to catch this one.
