Dave's Hot Music Picks

Dar Williams is a talented young songwriter from Northampton, MA. Her album The Honesty Room deals with such issues as developing gender roles during childhood ("When I Was a Boy"), living in a nuclear world ("The Great Unknown"), and her childhood babysitter ("The Babysitter's Here").

The Nields are fronted by two sisters, Nerissa and Katryna Nields, and Nerissa's husband David. Their music bridges the boundary between acoustic and alternative music. Don't miss their live show! Their album Gotta Get Over Greta will be rereleased by EMI/Guardian early on 6 May 1997.

From Good Homes released Open Up the Sky, a fun album of upbeat songs featuring mandolin, electric guitar, saxophone, and violin. In this world, there is not much that is better than seeing them perform live in an intimate club!
