Baltimore-based Paul Masson is an American singer songwriter who is country at his core and carries with him hints of soul, blues, and folk as well. With a voice older then his years, Masson is a man who has been to the edge and fought his way back to share his tribulations.  Come hear his debut in The Window. If you want to check him out before, you can do that here.

“Masson’s debut and independently financed and produced EP is a fine slice of alt.country that captures the colours of life’s dreamy moments and applies them to a canvas of hurt and regret.The performances here have been recorded live with few overdubs, making an intimate listening experience. Masson’s vocals are full of heartfelt warmth, a little whiskey-soaked around the edges, and a sincerity that major-label financing often kills.”

Boston-based singer/songwriter siren (and WordxWord veteran) Mieka Pauley is back! If you are unfamiliar with Mieka (and her band) give a listen here.

This is Mieka, as photographed by Ogden Gigli, during last years’ WxW.

Oh, and here’s her latest music video:

But you should come check out her live show - $5 at the door.

Billy Keane on vocals and guitar, Dave Brown on guitar and bass, Jay Schulteis on drums, and Noah Weiss on saxophones and keyboards.

We aren’t privy to the lesser criminal acts that the “outlaws” behind this rock-reggae-folk quartet may or may not have committed.
They keep their noses clean and play some great tunes when in The Window and that’s all we need to know.

$5 at the door.   Give em’ a listen now, if you like.

An evening of love songs sung by Pam Rich and Laurie Schiff and featuring the smooth sounds of Benny “fingers” Kohn and Dave Cristopolis.

$35, per person. Dinner & Performance.

“Southern charm and gypsy blood. Wistful musings and joie de vivre. Poise and self-effacement. A live performance not to be missed. Come a stranger, leave a disciple,” says Last.FM of Rebecca Loebe.

RocknReel Magazine won’t be surprised when Abi Tapia gets snapped up by a major record label:
“(Tapia’s) new album, The Beauty in The Ruin, a mature collection exploring themes of sadness and frustration, is full of planes, trains, automobiles and Greyhound buses - travellin’ light, travellin’ hard. Difficult to believe she hasn’t been picked up by on of Nashville’s majors.”

Rebecca Loebe and Abi Tapia will take The Window starting at 8 PM.

Catch them while you can at our quaint venue.
Five bucks at the door.

Lauren Melle, a local favorite, is back in The Mission Window for a solo show. She was one of the fantastic musicians who played WordxWord’s all female bill last summer.

Come on out!

Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island Roz Raskin along with Casey Belisle and Justin Foster (who are the Rice Cakes part of the deal) will be back in the Mission Window with their energentic live show.

Snap, Crackle, but they don’t play Pop. The thing is, even the members of the band aren’t keen ascribing a “sound” to themselves.  But you can come up with your own assessment … Give a Listen.

$5 cover.

Nominated for  “Best Folk Act” at the 2009 Boston Music Awards, Audrey Ryan, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, describes her sound as “baby-making music.”

Among the instruments she’ll have in the Mission Window to create this  — an electric Japanese axe or a vintage Gibson acoustic, a retro 80’s era Casio keyboard, and an accordion.

Go ahead, you can put yourself in the mood in advance of the show.

Also appearing with Audrey is Richard Julian who Entertainment Weekly describes as a New Yorker who “tosses off self-addressed put-downs with the ease of the young Springsteen during his acoustic Jersey-boy period.”
