Ok.

As of Monday, January 16th, I have begun a residency at The Oasis on James Island. That means I'll be playing there every Monday until further notice! I am very excited about this, and hope lots of people come out to hear me play and to drink some beer. If you've never been to the Oasis, it's a really fun place, with lots of space so you can play pool or Cornhole while enjoying my melodious strains. I have a feeling it's going to be a real party atmosphere, so come get your aardvark on!

Hey y'all!

I'm psyched to be performing this Friday, January 6th, at The Oasis on James Island. I go on at 9 p.m. and play until midnight. After a cold week, it's supposed to be 65 degrees on Friday, so I have a feeling there will be a real party atmosphere. So come on down: it will be a lot of fun! Special bonus: The first five people to tell me I'm awesome, I'll buy you a free beer. Go ahead, you can practice at home: "You're awesome, Eddy!" Very good. See you Friday. :)

What’s up?

I have lived in a few different places, and each place has affected my songwriting significantly. After a year in the Charleston, SC, area, I can definitely see its influence on my sound. There is a great local music scene, and all of the area musicians have been very welcoming and friendly to me. I’ve been especially impressed with the optimism and positivity of this place’s music and bands.

One such local bands is called Guilt-Ridden Troubadour. Despite the sad sounding name, they are a very fun band, with a style of bouncy toe-tapping music that gets you moving. For me as a transplanted New Englander, it’s a refreshing change from the cynicism and negativity of the Boston music scene. Folks here are not afraid to be happy, and not afraid to sing about it. After attending one of their gigs, I was inspired to write my latest song, attempting to capture some of that optimism and innocence. It’s called Lovely Soul.

Here it is, if you want to have a listen:

• Eddy Boston – Lovely Soul

And in case you’re wondering, no, it’s not about you. And yes, it is. It’s my ode to not one, but all the lovely souls I’ve met in the past year.

Come on down this Sunday morning for some of my acoustic stylings at Cafe Kronic on James Island. I’m looking forward to playing a coffee house gig. It should be a great listening environment. Stop by and say hello, and while you’re there, grab some of their delicious and all-natural food made with fresh local ingredients. It’s a perfect place for brunch or a sandwich.

Note that Cafe Kronic moved a couple months ago, and they are now located behind the Walgreen’s at the corner of Folly Road and Camp Road.

Hope to see you there!
