Adam Ezra Group- RAMBLE RAISES OVER 150K FOR VETERANS!!!

September 19, 2024

It’s an incredible number, and one that will have a significant impact that will be felt throughout the Northeast. It could not have happened without an entire community coming together, giving selflessly, working tirelessly, and above all, believing in the power of grassroots communities to shape the world around us.

Thank you, Ramblers. Because of you, through The New England Center and Home for Veterans, we will be helping 151 veterans off the streets and into safe and dignified housing!

THE PULL OF AUTUMN releases 'Memory Tree' album, a vibrant and reflective tapestry of poignant indie folk

June 1, 2024

"A gem... A genuine and welcome earworm" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Beautiful... Pure and simple. Lyrically emotional and thought-provoking. It has perfect instrumentation and musicality" ~ Spill Magazine

"Better to travel well than to arrive... this band is not about merely travelling, this is exploration down the unbeaten paths of the glorious unknown" ~ The Swindonian

Art-rock indie-pop collective The Pull of Autumn presents their fifth album 'Memory Tree'. Described as "a melancholy remembrance of moments in time and life", released by Boston imprint RBM Records on CD and digitally.

Earlier, the band shared the lead track 'I Was Just Dreaming', featuring Boston artist Bruce MacLeod on vocals, and 'Opening / Closing' featuring Rhode Island producer, songwriter and artist Kraig Jordan, who appeared on Tanya Donnelly’s three-album set and also opened for Belly at their recent home show in Rhode Island.

Led by Rhode Island native Daniel Darrow of 80s post-punk group Johanna’s House of Glamour, The Pull of Autumn is a collective with core members Bruce MacLeod, Matthew Darrow, Luke Skyscraper James (I.R.S. recording artist Fashion), plus a revolving door of collaborators. Each release involves notable and emerging artists, drawn from the local scene and further abroad.

'Memory Tree' features contributions by numerous outstanding artists, including Philip Parfitt (The Perfect Disaster), Ricky Humphrey (This Twisted Wreckage), San Francisco-based artists Leigh Gregory and Julius Manning, Berkeley singer-songwriter Sophia Campbell, and Rhode Island Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame inductee Paul Everett.

"Instead of the free-genre bending of what came before, this new album is focused on a continuous motion of sound that creates an overall effect of electro/acoustic music and ambient sounds. Hours were spent on the order of the track selection to create a continuous sound that tells a story reflected on the cover of the album," explains Daniel Darrow.

"The tree pointing downward represents the future as well as holding onto the past. This album is a melancholy remembrance of moments in time and life. I am very excited to feature many RI artists whose music I have come to love and respect over many years. Many veterans from around the world also contribute to the album. I feel this album is a concise picture of this moment in time. Every song reflects beauty, future loves and lost loves. I am excited to bring this album and great artists to the light and to have there music heard."

The Pull of Autumn released their debut eponymous album in 2018, followed by 'Afterglow' in 2019, 'Small Colors' in 2020 and 'Beautiful Broken World' in 2022.

'Memory Tree' arrives two years after The Pull of Autumn's 'Beautiful Broken World' album, which involved several music luminaries, including The Pop Group's Mark Stewart, Living Colour's Doug Wimbish and producer Adrian Sherwood.

As of May 31, 'Memory Tree' will be available from fine digital music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp.

Friday, July 8 We'll be Releasing Our Version of The Band's "Ophelia"!

July 2, 2022

This song has been one of our favorites to play and sing in concert for a couple years now. We love paying tribute to The Band, as they're such an influence on my songwriting and our approach to playing together, but I also love it because I feel like it allows each of my bandies to shine in the way they play and sing together. This is the first release within the Album Project that tributes another band, I’m thrilled with how it came out, and I can't wait for you to hear it!

Starting next Friday, you will be able to find this anywhere you can stream music, and if you follow us on Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora they will let you know every time we come out with something new. (Which is often these days!)

Golf! (Yes, Golf)

I continue to learn lessons in how resourceful and amazing this community is, and how many ways we can each contribute. Some of our Ramblers organized a Golf tournament in Stow, MA on July 12, supporting The Ramble and our veteran heroes, and before it's even begun we've already raised enough to help twelve of our vets into safe and dignified housing!

Wanna join us? You don't even have to play golf. You can simply hang with me and heckle (I mean cheer on) the golfers, and of course afterwards me and the bandies will be playing...

Learn more here!

Ramble - YES, YOU CAN JOIN US THIS YEAR!!

We will be Rambling on a beautiful mountainside property in Ashburnham, MA this year, and while this will still be a hybrid festival (both online and in person), we have decided to release a limited number of tickets for those of you who want to join us!

As always, it will happen on the Saturday before Labor Day Weekend, August 27, and we will be joined by incredible artists from 8am to 9pm EST that day.

Find out how you can reserve a spot at The Ramble, here!!

(If you've already reached out to us about hanging with us at The Ramble this year, we gotchu, and we will reaching out to you directly with more details).

IT'S ALMOST TIME TO RAMBLE!!

August 19, 2021

Saturday, August 28th - From Dawn Beyond Dusk - WE RAMBLE!!

For the second year in a row, wherever you are in the world, you can Ramble with us!

We'll be starting our Ramble livestream at 8am EST with an acoustic AEG set, and from there our day will be filled with meals that you can cook along with us, artists - both live on-site & a TON of virtual visitors, yoga, cookies, interviews & hangs, and a finale with AEG plugged in, but most importantly, it will be a day filled with love and inspiration as we rally to support our Veteran heroes in need.

For every 1k we raise at The Ramble, we will be able to help one of our vets off the street and into safe and dignified housing.

It's our favorite day of the year, and no matter where you are, you can join us...
