Real Gone Presents: A Boston Round-Up, April 2026

It’s been a while since we visited Boston and its suburbs, but there’s been a lot of music pouring out of the neighbourhood in the early part of 2026. This time around, you’ll be reacquainted with a few familiar performers, but iwith the help of some fine Americana sounds and even something a little bluesy alongside the expected bar-room rock vibes. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy. Better still, we hope you find the time spent digging through these tracks not only pleasurable, but also a lead towards discovering other great sounds.

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR SUMMER SPECIAL 2025

During the first half of 2025, our weekly Singles Bar feature went from strength to strength. The daily submissions piled up, and in keeping with the second half of ’24, no matter how many great tracks we highlighted, there always seemed to be a few that slipped through the cracks. This Summer Special shines a light on some of the greatest tunes and more interesting bands that didn’t make the cut. These shouldn’t be considered leftovers, though – everything here is of a hugely high standard. We’ve got blues, country, metal, a couple of interesting twists on a pop sound, a couple of off kilter indie bands…and far more besides. Grab yourselves a cuppa and turn up the volume: these twenty selections are all worth hearing in their own right, and when experienced together, act as a reminder of why our Singles Bar has become one of Real Gone’s most popular features.
