New Mary Simon CD + Release Party@This Ain't Hollywood (April 15, 2010)

In recent interviews, Hamilton singer/songwriter Mary Simon declared that her new sound is fun and upbeat. This is definitely evident in her new disc, No More Maybes.

While there are superb somber moments on the CD to balance things out (Curse, See You Fight, Goodbye), the overall vibe is energetic. Many songs are incredibly catchy (Come Love, Big Sore Heart) and rocking (All Night, the title track, Juliana). Mary and her gang find the perfect mix of pop, rock, and some folk.

There were many hands involved in the making of this cool album (her first in six years). Mary's joined by Andrew Aldrdige, David Gillis, Rob Lamothe, Greg Brisco, Mark McIntyre, Lisa Winn, Shelley Adams, and more.

Of course the new CD is available at her shows and website but it can also be downloaded through iTunes.

Check out the videos from her CD Release Party at This Ain't Hollywood on April 15, 2010.

Performer of the Week: Shelley Adams

Get ready to hear more about talented Hamilton Singer/Songwriter Shelley Adams. According to her MySpace page, she's putting the finishing touches on a new album.

Her pop/folk sound will also be showcased on a few upcoming performances next month, as well. On February 4, 2010 at the Casbah, she'll be part of the Women Who Rule the Men show. Then, on February 25, 2010, her band, The Shelley Adams Union will be performing at the Heart of the Hammer Cafe.

She has been compared to Tori Amos and Sarah Harmer but her amazing, haunting voice has a style all its own. Shelley can hold her own against any of her folky compatriots.
