The Big Picture Media CMJ showcase got underway at Sullivan Hall with an electrifying performance by Grygiel, a singer-songwriter from Upstate New York. Backed by a female band the performance further proved that women can rock. They really got the crowd going with their song, “Space Party.”
Exactly at 8:05 Mercies took the stage, within seconds of embarking on their set list a crowd gathered before them. Heads began to bop as people grooved to the sweet sounds of this Connecticut trio.
Destry followed with a melodic performance where vocalist Michelle DaRosa and Tyler Odom traded singing duties. DaRosa performed lead on some tracks and Odom on others and provided back up for one another when not singing lead.
The Boston indie-rock quintet The Hush Now took the stage promptly at 9:35 and performed cuts from their latest album; “Memos” with songs easy to dance to The Hush Now had no problems getting the crowd going.
The Big Picture Media showcase featured some of the most promising up and coming indie bands music has to offer. Whether you’re into soft rock, melodic pop or a folksy or blues feel the bands at Friday’s showcase had something for everybody.
