In our newest episode of Citywide Bytes, I’m joined by Jeneen Terrana, who’s been releasing music since 2002 with her debut album, “Just Me.” Since then, she’s performed all over the US and toured in Europe. Most recently, she released the single “Good Girls Get the Blues.”

Jeneen takes us back to the beginning with what got her into music from her time spent as an actress and why she’s remained there for so many years. She talks about her new single “Good Girls Get the Blues” and the collaboration process with some amazing musicians.

Over the years, Jeneen has toured all over, and during this call she’s currently on the road. She talks about her time in Europe and the memorable experiences she had.

Closing out the interview is the new single, “Good Girls Get the Blues.”

Tom of The Midnight Wrens flies through a seven-year band history

It was in 2017 when the original six members of The Midnight Wrens came together, and since that time, they’ve made some amazing music in the New England area. In this episode, band songwriter/guitarist Tom Powley joins us to talk about how the Wrens came together and their journey over the years.

Tom goes into their new EP, “The Songbird Collection,” a five-track EP that touches on different aspects with each song, and shares some of the stories behind the music. We also look at the band’s upcoming show on July 25 at The Word Barn and the release of a band-inspired IPA with Exeter Brewing Co.

Big thanks go to Sarah Blacker, who made the introductions that led to this interview.

Opening the episode is an excerpt from “Come Home” and closing things out is the full track “Mona Lisa,” both of which you can find on “The Songbird Collection.”

Heerraa talks awards, virtual tours, and helping students find their path

After hearing international singer-songwriter Heerraa's new single “Feel Alive,” I knew that had to learn more about her. And the more I learned, that more I was interested in her being a guest on Citywide, so here we are! In this episode, we dive into the new song and what inspired the upbeat sound in a time when things can look pretty grim. Heerraa talks about the different people she's met in her music career and the lessons they've had for her.

In addition to music, Heerra's a co-founder of nationwide youth movement, Ascendance. To date, the team has impacted over 13,000 students through their programs, student-led conferences, monthly web series and more. We talk about how the organization got started, what it's done so far, and plans for the future.

Following this, enjoy the new single, “Feel Alive.” I was so hooked by the song that I listened to the rest of her work and I hope you do too.
