Their songs comprise tight vocal harmonies atop driving rhythms, drawing inspiration from alternative guitar/new wave, classic folk-rock, and electro-pop. Longtime songwriters and performers with deep individual catalogs to draw on, they decided to join forces and songbooks in 2021 and start a band.This is their second Lizard Lounge show, and will serve as a release party for their new live record “Live at The Burren & Lizard Lounge”. They will be joined by Chuck Hargreaves of Field Day on drums.
Justice Cow, the musical alias of Jessica Kion, is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose latest album delves deeply into personal loss and emotional vulnerability. Growing up surrounded by a musical family, Jessica’s early exposure to music laid the foundation for her artistic journey. Her identity as an artist started taking shape during her time at Berklee College of Music when she was exposed to and inspired by artists like Regina Spektor and Sufjan Stevens.
Her latest album, “my dad died” is a poignant exploration of her father’s death. The writing process began as memories of her father flooded back, prompting her to capture these fleeting moments as musical vignettes. Drawing inspiration from Madi Diaz’s “History of a Feeling”, Sufjan Stevens’ “Carrie & Lowell” and Mount Eerie’s “A Crow Looked at Me,” Jessica’s album is a raw and honest reflection of her grief and memories.
Justice Cow’s music blends acoustic foundations with rich, full-band arrangements, creating a sound that is both intimate and expansive. Her ability to transform deeply personal experiences into universally resonant art makes her a compelling and authentic voice in contemporary music.
Field Day formed proverbially, in a basement, and unexpectedly, when its members were well into middle age. Joan Anderman was a neophyte, having left her longtime post as rock critic at The Boston Globe and set out to become a songwriter. Her former Globe colleague Dan Zedek, veteran of numerous college bands, was sitting on a stash of songs written in his head while riding the train to work. The band’s original drummer John Kehe offered his gear-filled basement for weekend song circles. The chemistry was potent. These songs and these songwriters belonged together. With the addition of bassist Iarla Ó hAllmhuráin and drummer Chuck Hargreaves, Field Day has become an unlikely upstart on the Boston club scene, playing rock music with scrappy hooks, dreamy harmonies, and irrepressible spirit.
