It Sounds Different to Me Every Time I Play it Back
4 minutes of reflection is a revolutionary act in late-stage capitalism. Amid our collective feelings of frustration and fatigue, how can we confront and cope with societal collapse with empathy, compassion, and human dignity?
Silicon in My Soul
“Silicon in My Soul” starts with a blast. Change can happen in an instant, and technology accelerates its effects. How do we break the spell, find the others, and get human again – especially when technology has creeped into everything we do? Listen in any streaming platform and/or Bandcamp.
Disconsolate Eyes
“Disconsolate Eyes” is a letter of concern addressed to the culture. Climate change, systemic racism, economic inequality, and other issues are at fever pitch in the face of our inaction.

Songwriter Showcase Series: A Residency Hosted by Michael Boezi
I am hosting a residency at The Square Root in Roslindale. Local songwriters present their songs in a stripped-down, low-key format to focus on good songcraft and strong community – bringing people together in an intimate setting to break through boundaries and gain an understanding of one another. We put on 11 shows in 2022, and plan to keep it going in 2023.
Michael Boezi Live at The Jungle, 12/19/21
