Beneath the weight of winter snow, the heartbeat of a hardened Boston still thuds steadily. In our Winter Listen Local Mix, hunger and sharp reflection from Seefour and Nick Shea meet the laid-back control of Cousin Stizz. The hard-hitting precision of M-Dot’s music is layered tight like triple-deckers in Southie – built efficiently and stacked with purpose. Emily Margaret Band stretches soul-folk past easy genre lines, while Ali McGuirk’s reflective soul lingers on bigger questions as the days stay short and the nights stretch long. While the harbor might freeze, the creative pulse of Boston never does. Feel the winter focus through Listen Local and catch up on the warm tracks our staff has had on repeat while the city stays cold.
