NORTH OF BOSTON * SORRY MUSIC * SEPTEMBER 6th.
"Sorry" is a four member folk rock group who come together for the love of playing music and the enjoyment of each other’s company. The group consists of Allison Scobie lead vocals, Paul Egan drums, Phil Fleisher guitar vocals, Peter Miller guitar vocals and harmonica. The majority of the songs are original compositions with a few selected covers done in the "Sorry" style.
Each member of the band is a professional person with a family. They are two social workers, an architect and a member who is in publishing in the group. Our dreams no longer center on fame or fortune just the opportunity to pursue a creative endeavor outside of our usual roles and responsibilities. For us, the group is a shared space like a sandbox for grown ups where we play with guitars instead of shovels, drums in lieu of pails in order to pursue our own sense of serious fun.
Our name derives simply from the good manners we learned from our parents and teachers. When we practice and someone makes an error the person responsible more often than not murmurs an apology into the microphone. Hence, we became, "Sorry" with the hope being that after hearing our music the listener will be anything but…

Joe Militello is a Cape Ann singer-acoustic guitarist and songwriter who has performed in and around New England for some 30 years. He also plays the piano, sings ballads and some of his own original compositions. Perhaps, most notably, is how Joe delights his audiences with his rendition of some great Beatle love songs. "Yesterday" is a melancholic acoustic ballad written by Paul McCartney which was voted best song of the 20th. Century in a 1999 BBC Radio Poll.
"Something" was the first song written by George Harrison becoming the second-most covered Beatle's song after "Yesterday".
"This Boy", whose composition was an attempt by John Lennon at writing a song in the style of Motown, was performed live in 1964 for the Beatle's second Ed Sullivan Show. Joe will sing these three songs along with others for Sunday Morning Live at the Seaward Inn on August 23rd.
A well known seasoned musician and performer, Joe Militello also plays in a Boston based 5-piece band known as "The Mockers".

NORTH OF BOSTON -MUSIC- SUNDAY MORNING LIVE- AUGUST 9TH.
“A truly fresh and unique voice, has to be natural. Even the most modern technology can’t fake it. Hannah and (the) Bloodlines are naturals.” - Alison Hammond, WMVY Radio
From the start “ Hannah & The Bloodlines” have been able to successfully mix experimental with mainstream. Their first single “Nobodies Fault But Mine” aired on independent radio stations throughout the country, and even Europe! They have the improvisational skills of jazz, the hooks of pop, and the raw energy of rock., enabling them to produce an impressive live show that includes intricate jams and melodies not found on the recordings.
“This band makes you feel like your floating, then hits you hard with the energy of the unexpected. They are familiar and yet completely unique at the same time.”
This April the band released their first album “Far From The Tree”. It is sure to be one of the new sounds coming out of New England. With such players as Stephen Gaspar (guitar), who at the young age of 21 has already shared the stage with musical legend John Blackwell (drummer for Justin Timberlake and Prince) and pop icons such as The Click5., Ryan Broderick (drums) who has been playing with blues heroes such as Sam “Bluesman” Taylor in New York since he was in high school. Shaun Munday holds down the low end on bass, helping to give the band a dash of soul. Hannah Sumner inspires most of the melodies and lyrics, and their latest edition Jeremy Vovcsko on saxophone , who has played with legends such as Me’shell Ndegeochello, only propels the musical improvisations deeper during their live performances.
The band has already embraced audiences on television (PlumTV), radio throughout New England, and has been constantly in the top 20 in experimental on ourstage.com, an online radio that fans vote for best song. So keep an ear open to hear the new sound coming out of Boston.
