Artist Spotlight: Kooked Out

Today's edition of Artist Spotlight comes to us from a duo that is a newcomer to the Boston music scene that goes by the name of Kooked Out. The duo primarily consists of Sarah Louise on lead vocals, piano, synth, and organ, and John Fiore on guitar and backup vocals. Their music is a melodic blend of low key psychedelic rock rhythms mixed in with a dual vocal precision that is a formidable presence to be in front of and they both have a terrific musical connection that stands out prominently in their music. You may remember John from his previous band Mojo Kick, and while it does borrow some elements from his prior musical venture, this is an entirely different sound altogether that sees him evolving into a diverse and confident musician who is able to tackle anything thrown his way. Sarah's vocals sound absolutely superb, and complement the instrumentation at hand with remarkable aplomb. A promising rookie act in the local scene that is definitely deserving of a little push presswise.

For more information on Kooked Out, head on over to their Facebook page here and see what they're all about upfront from a musical perspective. Follow the duo on Twitter from over here and find out when they'll be performing in the Boston area again so that you can check them out in concert for yourselves!
