Artist Spotlight: The Ballroom Thieves

We keep on trucking with another new installment of Artist Spotlight for today! We stay put here in Boston and come across the folk infused sounds of The Ballroom Thieves. The band consists of Martin Earley on lead guitar and vocals, Devin Mauch on percussion and backup vocals, and Calin Peters on cello and vocals. The band's music is a bombastic, anthemic blast with harmonic vocals that reel you in hook, line, and sinker right away with a cutting edge blend of folk rhythms inspired by The Decemberists with their own unique music identity that shines through brightly in their music. I was enthused about them right from the get go, and I really enjoyed their musical outlook where the vocal abilities of everyone involved were the main attraction, and allowed everyone to marvel over the fact that we were in great musical company right here. An amazing, undiscovered local act that is totally worthy of a mention here on the site. Some tracks for you to discover from the trio include "Down By The River" and "Droves".

For more information on The Ballroom Thieves, head on over to their Facebook page located right here and see what all the buzz is about. The band can easily be followed on Twitter from this central location here and find out when they'll be stopping by your hometown area to grace you with their musical presence sometime. Head on over to their official website over here to get a at a glance look of the group with an extensive list of features, and check out their music now available on their Bandcamp site right over here where you can listen to their self-titled EP at your disposal.
