What do we choose to reveal? Sometimes what we want to believe creates blind spots. That’s what the new release from Boston-based artist Michael Boezi is about. Reminiscent of Boston’s own 80s new wave pioneers The Cars, this track features some of the Boston area’s best musicians, including Andrew Stern on guitar, Dave Brophy on drums, Joe McMahon on bass, and a special guest appearance by Jessye DeSilva on the Wurlitzer.

And just for fun, the humble beginnings of this song – and how I play it in my live solo format:
