Hailing from the Northeast, these Pioneer Valley natives provide a sound all their own; a perfect combination of soulful vocals, intricate harmonies, contagious melodies and moving rhythm. Originating as a trio, friends Kara Rose Wolf, Kerrie T. Bowden and Laura Marie Picchi maintain their vocal roots and continue to shape their sound through writing and collaborative instrumentation. Eavesdrop’s debut EP, The Afterglow, showcased the trio’s vocally charged acoustic, folk, soul roots. With their latest release, TIDES, the band has expanded into a six piece ensemble. Co-produced by Alan Evans and Ross Bellenoit, TIDES is the band’s first full length album. It brings the listener on a ride alongside the three songbirds, taking a deeper look into the life events that fostered their creativity.
"Life is a series of beginnings and endings, of infinite cycles.
TIDES is a representation of the phases within and the experiences that shape who we are.
It's a reflection of mistakes we've made and the lessons we've learned; a journey through understanding and self-discovery.”
Gentle Temper is a new-age folk duo from Boston, Massachusetts. Ryan Meier and Marion Earley began their journey as a duo in the fall of 2016 and molded their sound into what Deli Magazine called “harmony-laced smokey folk”. They have toured the northeastern U.S. extensively over the last three years, opening for nationally touring bands the Ballroom Thieves, the Western Den, Honeysuckle, Bombadil, the Family Crest, LOLO, Town Meeting, and Julie Rhodes. The duo have played in support of numerous charitable organizations including Relay for Life, Chikombuso Women & Orphans Foundation, the Beauhawks Foundation, the ACLU, and the Animal Refuge League of Portland.
Just three days shy of the anniversary of the release of their debut album, “Our Warm Red Light”, Gentle Temper released their latest single, "Triple Dog Dare". “Triple Dog Dare” began as a poem describing a moment of contemplation and observation of Earley's own life and of the world around her. The poem has since morphed into a song that is, at its core, an individual's personal call to action; a reminder that we do have control over our circumstances, and that we hold the power to change them as we see fit.
