Emerging Artist Concert

Featuring Carlyn Hutchins

Born and raised in Philadelphia, as an adult she made her way to Boston, acoustic guitar firmly in hand. Don’t mistake her for the many other singer-songwriters who seek folk fame in those hallowed coffeehouses. While Carlyn’s been compared to Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell it’s only because her aggressive guitar work and introspective lyrics lead you there. She’s her own woman, playing all over New England. Carlyn has three recordings, the latest, Lust Love Lost, released in 2006.

Her day gig as a biologist gives her a keen eye for detail. It’s apparent in “Three Doors Down,” a story about the girl next door who, “… had laughter like candy, rolled around on your tongue” but it all turns sinister with a violation: “But you tread on her heart like a crushed up tin can.”

You can hear the spirit of Michael Hedges mixed with the melodic sensibilities of Dave Matthews on “The Look.” “Sweet Young Thing” features a forceful guitar strum that more than compliments the not-so-subtle lyrics. It’s an out front song of desire you thought only a man could write. 

She taught herself to play at the age of 10, painstakingly picking out the melodies to her favorite tunes. Along the way she took a few lessons, always keeping that 10 year old mindset and never shying away from doing her own thing. Right after college there was a short stint with a couple of folk bands until the real world beckoned and she chose school and biotechnology. While the tragic loss of her friend initially inspired her songwriting, it was a chance meeting with another friend who got her back into performing. In the middle of her buddy’s new song, she broke out into some harmony. Some musicians would have shushed her for the interruption but this one smartly exclaimed, "Oh honey, you have to play with me!" Carlyn lifted her broken left hand (a soccer injury) and gently reminded her that she wasn't going to be playing anything for a while. Her friend replied, "It ain't gonna be broken forever," so Carlyn used guitar playing as physical therapy and was on stage with her 5 weeks later. When Carlyn realized how it was also emotionally therapeutic, she stuck with it, playing more gigs and releasing her first recording in 2005.

Amy Petty

Born of the DNA of Rock and Roll and heavily influenced by classical music, Amy Petty’s sound and songwriting is a compelling, complex and original soundscape that weaves a lush tapestry of folk, pop, rock and blues ballad.

As the daughter of the soundman for the popular Detroit-area cover band “Stonebridge,” and surrounded by people who loved the music of Yes, Boston, Queen and The Scorpions, Amy’s ear developed both an appreciation for and an ability to create complex harmonies and layered vocals. Classically trained, Amy graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Voice Performance from Oakland University in Rochester MI, where she received numerous awards and honors, sang lead roles in several operas, and sang with the Michigan Opera Theater, Meadowbrook Theater, the Pontiac-Oakland Symphony and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Art, mystery, and spirituality influence and infuse her poignant songs. These sonic canvases showcase the heartfelt emotion behind her lyrics and provide a foundation over which her voice and choral harmonies soar. Often compared to Sarah McLachlan, Eva Cassidy, Alanis Morrisette and Jonatha Brooke, Amy Petty has a signature voice and style both familiar and oh-so-new.

Since moving to New Hampshire, Amy has performed at numerous venues, including The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH, The Skybar in Somerville, MA, The Maple Room in Lewiston, ME, The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH, Clark University, Berklee College of Music and Boston University among others.

Caleb Hawley

Caleb Hawley has always wanted to be a professional baseball player.  However, life did not grant him big muscles and outstanding eye contact.  Instead, he was dealt the gift of fast fingers and massive vocal chords.  After sadly realizing his circumstances, he set off to be a musician.

At 12, he learned his first Nirvana song on guitar.  Due to the overwhelming response from the seventh-grade girls, he decided to learn more.  First Metallica, next Pink Floyd.  Then Dave Mathews or whatever else made people like him. Soon Caleb was the youngest bar hopper in Minneapolis, performing for “old people” all over the city.

A few years later, college came.  He decided to head out to Boston and attend Berklee College of Music.  He received a degree in jazz composition and was sent off to make a living in music, or in other words, die.
He had to move fast, before his college loans got the better of him, so he re-located to New York City and in July of 2007, released his debut CD, “Greatest Hits”.

ince then he (along with his dog Fargo) has traveled miles upon miles performing at clubs, colleges, and festivals all over the country.  In journey, he has had the opportunity to share the stage with other artists including Marc Cohn, Shawn Mullins, Dave Barnes, and The Greencards. In November 2008, he was a top five finalist (out of 4,000) in the prestigious New York Songwriter’s annual showcase.  Things are moving along, but he still hopes to be a baseball player someday.

Sam Chase

Sam Chase is a drummer, producer, and singer-songwriter from the Boston area whose music blends folk, alternative country, and pop rock together into one smooth, melodic sound.

He started up piano lessons at 8, then after endless nights of tapping on the dinner table, took up the drums at age 10 which became his primary instrument. Sam didn’t start playing guitar until 14. With the help of a very strong musical support group in his family, he followed his older brother’s footsteps and went to Berklee College of Music in 2004 (’08).

With no real plan other than the dream and desire to play music for a living, his focus was on being the best drummer he could be, while also playing guitar on the side. But when Sam was accepted into the Music Production & Engineering program and found his niche as a producer, he quickly found himself playing a lot more guitar than drums, and that led to his focus on songwriting. He recorded and self-produced a four song EP called Songs for Someone in his final semester and is currently working on his debut album.

 While never having had an official lesson before, Sam used his experience on piano and his understanding of theory (as well as some helpful tips from his older bro) to learn how to play guitar. Not to mention lots and lots of practice. You can still catch Sam on drums throughout the Boston area as he maintains his desire to be an all around musician. He plays with his older brother and songwriter Matt in the Matt Chase Group, Boston based Tin Can Tele, and the South Shore’s The Gathering (fronted by his rockin’ parents).
