Customer Reviews
Incredible spotlight on rising artists!
John is a phenomenal host shining a spotlight on rising artists, giving them a wonderful
platform to share their music & stories. Every single episode is worth listening to.
My favorite podcast!
I learned about this podcast from the host John, who is from the same hometown as me. So happy he shared it with me because I have loved listening on my commute, discovering local music, hearing the amazing stories behind the musicians and getting to listen to their songs. I particularly enjoyed listening to Hope & Things and recently saw them perform live at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. It was such a great experience! Thanks so much John for introducing me to the local music scene!
Such a good listen!
Shea's Podcast sheds light on the local music scene in a unique way: Almost Famous is an opportunity to both hear the tunes of local artists and find out what goes on behind-the-scenes in an artist's life, what made them who they are today. My favorite tool to find out what's going on in the Boston music scene!
