bellwire SHOW DESCRIPTION: bellwire return to Boston with a new song in their bittersweet register tackling love, existence, and entropy. “LOVEBIRDS” (featuring a fellow sweet prince of New England songcraft, Jake McKelvie, singing harmony). The song will come out on the morning of the show. Since frontman Tyler berd’s move to the west coast, the full bellwire is at most a twice-a-year sighting in these haunts. Don’t sleep on this, especially with their roadworn pirate pedal-steel player Jonee Earthquake at the slide and pedals. They will be joined by two local favorites: Yes, Chef and Mel Starr and the Astral Projection. ARTIST BIOS: bellwire is a New England rock band first formed in the summer of 2011, now most commonly spotted in the fall. Early experiments in lo-fi, surf, and punk gave way to their jangly power-pop style typified on the EP, Dog Thoughts. Their self-titled 2022 LP is an alt-country concept album that tells a story of love and loss (single: Dreamin’). Often appearing with New England pirate-punk stalwart Jonee Earthquake on pedal steel, their high-energy performances still put lyrics and story first. Bandcamp / Tidal / Apple / Spotify / Instagram / Facebook Yes, Chef! is a folk rock n roll trio cooking up catchy tunes with punchy basslines. Their songs use clowns, birds, weather, and magically mundane (or maybe just random?) images to convey emotional experiences. Instagram / Bandcamp Based out of Boston, MA, Mel Starr is a self-taught singer/songwriter inspired by the folk tradition and the fingerpicking style. With no formal music education, intuition is deeply integrated into their music practice. Mel’s songs are soothing and, at times, haunting. They reflect on family, grief, relationships and finding oneself in their writing. Mel cares deeply about mental health and community wellbeing, using music as a path to bring people together in learning and collaboration. In their opinion, it is one of life’s true pleasures to see how a song can transform when instruments and minds conspire to create something new.
