]]> One Day Only Fest celebrates five years in Dewey Square Park https://vanyaland.com/2023/09/13/one-day-only-fest-celebrates-five-years-in-dewey-square-park/ Wed, 13 Sep 2023 16:32:21 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10035967 UPDATE: The festival has been moved to Sunday, September 17, due to inclement weather. The time and location remain the same. ** We love a wallet-draining megafest as much as the next person, but there’s something special about a musical affair that you can wrap up with a bow after just one day. Just imagine: No hotel stay, no need to set an alarm the next morning, no trudging back and forth to grounds while nursing an overpriced-beer hangover. Yeah, […]

]]> Miranda Rae reignites her passion on new album ‘For What It’s Worth’ https://vanyaland.com/2023/06/08/miranda-rae-reignites-her-passion-on-new-album-for-what-its-worth/ Thu, 08 Jun 2023 18:47:05 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10035099 There’s a track on Miranda Rae’s new album that hits different once you learn about her 2022. It’s called “sure,” one of the silky layers of For What It’s Worth, the Boston artist’s new project (released June 2). “I’m sure of it / I need more of it,” Rae implores as she cozies up to a new lover. Even though the song begins with a nod to past heartache — “I’ve been broken twice before” — her admission melts away […]

It could be where it’s located, it could be who is playing it, it could be a lack of interest from the festival crowd. That was not the case at Boston Calling’s Tivoli Audio Orange Stage on Friday (May 28), where a quartet of homegrown bands and artists — The Chelsea Curve, Miranda Rae, Avenue, and Born Without Bones — all held […]

Award-winning digital arts magazine Vanyaland and game-changing major-league music festival Boston Calling launched within 10 short days of each other, completely altering and elevating the landscape where music and culture intersect in a city that had previously gone relatively stale. In the near-decade since, the two entities have been a defining feature of our city, both for its residents and how it’s perceived everywhere else. In Spring 2022, Vanyaland and Boston […]

But it was a cold, wet, and dark time, with us all pretty much just living digital lives through our screens, so the Cambridge artist couldn’t really bloom to proper form and display what all the fuss is about. Now that spring is here and we’re all finally allowed outside, Rae is showing off her talents by kicking off Boston Seaport‘s four-show pop-up […]

The Boston R&B singer commands attention from her comfort zone on her new track “Moonlight,” an away-from-the-pressure ode to owning your identity. “Moonlight,” which dropped today (January 15), features Los Angeles singer Durand Bernarr, who Rae discovered on YouTube. “I came across his post on his Instagram feed saying that if you’re an artist that has a song that makes him dance, he would like […]
