The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund presents a Lobby Series performance that highlights local and regional talent in an easygoing, close-up atmosphere. For this occasion, the lobby is turned into a 70 seat lounge that puts the music front and center. Featured artist Keegan James Blood is a Boston-based singer and songwriter whose path has moved from power pop roots to a blend of Americana influences. As a teenager he led the Vermont band Stag Line, which saw its single “I’m Much Better” spin regularly on local rock radio. He later spent five years in Boston’s underground scene at the helm of Red Mill, releasing multiple EPs and LPs and playing energetic shows throughout New England, and he is a Berklee College of Music graduate. Beginning in 2019 he reshaped his sound around alternative country, power pop, and roots music, releasing the single “Way Back In” following a mid-pandemic recording trip to Nashville. His debut solo album, “Brand New Dance,” recorded largely in Philadelphia with engineer Jeff Zeigler, weaves folk, country, and rock with barbed lyrics and melodies that linger, and it arrived in late 2024. He has also been performing around Boston and New England with Alex Formento on pedal steel and Joe Everett on upright bass from the bluegrass group Pretty Saro. The trio recorded an album mixed by Dan Bui of Twisted Pine for release in early 2026, capturing the live spark of their recent Boston area shows.
