Music Review: Misty Boyce
If you’ve listened to enough pop music over your years of taking in culture, you’ll eventually come to realize that things just can’t be the way you’d want them to be.

Five Minutes with Misty Boyce – Interview on Indie Sounds NY

I first discovered Misty Boyce at the legendary Late Night at Rockwood Music Hall sessions, where she’d play the piano in the jamband and sing covers of hits from yesteryear. Then to gigs of her own songs, and now an eponymous debut album, released on NYC’s Modern Vintage Recordings. Indie Sounds found out more about it, and what’s in the future for Misty.

As a freshman effort, Misty Boyce approaches brilliance.
Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5)”
