Fragrance and Fellowship in The Fog

Posted on by Pat D

As you know, fog descended along the landscape a couple of days ago so I took myself down to the boulevard to check out the dahlias from our very own Generous Gardeners. Did you know you could “sponsor a dahlia”? I noticed several other people with the very same idea to check out the dahlias in the fog. There was a definite camaraderie amongst those strolling. And you can’t tell from these photos, but the fragrance added just the right note to the stroll. Support Generous Gardeners in any way you can. Fellowship and fragrance in the fog along the boulevard:

Local musician and singer for Kicked Off The Bus, Brandon Blatchford, just released his first EP album with his side project, The Wannabe Teenagers.

The album was released on Brandon’s fourteenth birthday and is aptly titled, “4TEEN.” The album consists of three original songs co-written by Brandon and a reworked cover of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name,” as well as a few remixes for good measure. Musical guest performances from local legends abound on 4TEEN including Sam Pallazolla, from Kicked Off The Bus; Renée Dupuis, from SAFETY, What Time is it Mr. Fox, and Renée & Joe; and Trevor Blank and Christian Palmisano, from Violent Brides.

4TEEN was recorded and mixed by Warren Babson at Bang-A-Song Studios in downtown Gloucester, and was self-produced by The Wannabe Teenagers.

Producer Steven Azami said in his review of the lead single, Ocean Song, “Brandon Blatchford & The Wannabe Teenagers deliver youthful, high-spirited pop/rock on their release . . . this is a tremendous track . . . stellar work on this one by everyone involved!”

Brandon continues to play locally with Kicked Off The Bus and can be seen next at Magtober Fest on October 13.

4TEEN is available on all streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.

Posted on by Nichole S.

Which way? I love these signs….almost as much as I love sitting on the deck next to them listening to music with friends. A few of us had an impromptu night out at Lobsta’ Land the other day and I found myself wondering where I would go if able….
