The Boston Handmade Marketplace is proud to present LIVE MUSIC

One Happy Island

One Happy Island is Shannon, Meghan, and Brad, three friends who delight in defying pop music conventions. Their intricately constructed songs reach the stage via gleefully ramshackle performances, making expressive use of toys and arcane instruments and joyfully disregarding pre-existing conceptions of structure, instrumentation, and leadership. Some of them have made music in bands most of their lives. Some of them have made music in bands for less than six months. Everybody sings, everybody writes. Their best shows feel like rehearsals. They aspire to move, baffle, and reveal, but are also happy to entertain.

The Weisstronauts

The Weisstronauts are a 5-piece instrumental rock combo from Boston, featuring 3 guitarists, just like the Outlaws, and utilizing the same bassist-and-drummer rhythm section configuration made famous by the Beatles and the John Coltrane Quartet. With influences ranging from spaghetti western & spy movie soundtracks to space rock, surf, twang and more, the Weisstronauts steadfastly refuse the sort of genre-pigeonholing one finds in artists like Motley Crue or John Phillip Sousa, preferring instead to follow their singular muse wherever it may take them, much like their heroes, the London Symphony Orchestra.
