Sometimes you come across an artist and their initial press release or, in this case, Bandcamp bio and the description is so spot on that you think “Why can’t we just copy pasta that whole thing???” or “How are we gonna top that???” And then we go and try because that’s what we do! Which brings us to our latest In Between Days guest: Kat Wright! Playing the Arbella Stage on Day 2 of the 2-day In Between Days Festival happening at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy happening on August 19th & 20th, Wright’s sound completely enraptures with an aesthetic that’s summed up concisely if you were to split the difference between Mark Ronson’s Version and Record Collection albums. See! We kinda did it!

There’s a lot of good reasons to check out In Between Days Festival which happens at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy on August 19th & 20th. From last year’s inaugural run to this year, they’ve only gotten bigger by expanding to 2 days meaning more chances to find your new favorite band! Beyond the music, though, they’ve teamed with Bit Bar Salem for a retro arcade, have Little City Thrifty Vintage Market and The Good Trade Makers Market readying a truly unique marketplace experience for attendees AND have some killer chow ready for hungry bellies. Happening, ahem, in between all that is the most unique aspect of this year’s event which is the partnership with 1 Million Strong that’s brought to IBD by The Phoenix.

[Read more…]RNRF X In Between Days, Local Look: Paper Tigers
We cannot say enough good things about Paper Tigers. They blew us away with their performance at the revived Rock & Roll Rumble earlier in the year, have been delivering some solid singles recently, and have an upcoming new full-length that is easily becoming one of our most anticipated releases of 2023. Obviously, we have some words to share about our excitement and also give you some more reasons to check them out when they play In Between Days on Day 1 of the festival which happens at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy on August 19th & 20th!
[Read more…]RNRF X In Between Days, Local Look: Carissa Johnson
The biggest issue for us in doing one of these “Local Look” posts for an artist we’ve already covered a bunch (And we mean, like, a BUNCH) in these pages is making sure we contain this to a novella size and not a whole novel, y’know? Think one of the books in the original serial version of The Green Mile and not the combined 432 pages of all six mini-books together. Anyway! Carissa Johnson is playing this year’s In Between Days Festival, appearing on the Arbella Insurance stage on Day 1 of the event happening on August 19th & 20th over at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy and we have some words (Again, just some words) to share on why you should make it out early to catch the live spectacle in person!
[Read more…]RNRF X In Between Days, Local Look: Sweet Petunia
Who’s ready for something a little softer and probably the most perfect artist to ease you into Day 2 of In Between Days after what is sure to be one heckuva comedown following the Day 1 launch??? Well, get ready for Sweet Petunia then because they might just have the stuff within them to conjure up the right kind of sonic magic to start off Sunday smashingly!
[Read more…]RNRF X In Between Days, Local Look: Mint Green
According to ye olde Bandcamp bio, Mint Green is “The sweet spot between emo, pop, and alternative.” and really, we can’t think of a better descriptor after listening through a lot of what the Boston band has to offer over on our preferred method of streaming (Read: Bandcamp). Also, after listening though All Girls Go To Heaven we’re kind of bummed that we’ll be missing out when Mint Green bring all those sounds together for their performance at In Between Days Festival over at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy on Day 2 (August 20th, the day Mrs RNRF will be covering the event). But there’s no reason you should miss out!
