SATCH KERANS –BIO and Press Release for Riverboys
The new Satch Kerans CD, “Riverboys”, is here! Tom “Satch” Kerans is a singer, songwriter and guitarist drawing on such influences as Graham Parker, Peter Case, Bob Dylan, and Barry and The Remains. The founder and front man of the Boston based band the Catalinas, he has opened shows for Little Steven Van Zandt, The Outlaws, NRBQ, Charlie Sexton and South Side Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. In fact, Kerans opened a show for Roy Orbison four days before the legendary singer’s untimely death. Though Kerans took a hiatus from recording throughout most of the 90’s, he has returned with a vengeance, and his output has been nothing short of prolific.
Kerans released his solo debut, “Elliot St.” in April of 2005 to rave reviews. Phil Suggitt at Shindig Magazine wrote, “In short, this is a little gem…Kerans’ sound is slightly reminiscent of the vagabond rock troubadour style of Willie Nile with elements of Petty and McGuinn- which is high praise not criticism.” Jeff May at the Noise cited “…great songs and old-fashioned chops.” and Eric Sorensen at https://www.tradebit.com declared simply, “Long may you run, Sir Satch!”. The title track, “Elliot Street” was selected for NPR’s “All Songs Considered-Open Mic” as well as the compilation “Wicked Hawt Spectacular” #6 also featuring Bronson Arroyo of the Boston Red Sox. In addition to the songs on “Elliot Street”, Kerans contributed a new song, “Dark Side of Dawn”, to David Bash’s “International Pop Overthrow V.9” compilation. Demonstrating his versatility as a writer, the socially conscious “Viva la Revolucion!” surfaced on a segment of Neal Young’s website-“Living With War Today”-devoted to songs protesting the war and or the current Bush administration.
Hearing a roots-rock sound for his next project, “Riverboys”, Satch turned to Hi-N-Dry Studio in Cambridge, the studio founded by the legendary Mark Sandman of Morphine. Though Sandman passed away in 1999, the studio is manned by former band mates and friends including Billy Conway and Dana Colley. In addition to writing and singing the 10 tracks for the album, Kerans played guitar, Hammond organ and harmonica. North Shore music veterans Lenny Dunn and Kevin Levesque played drums and bass respectively. Kerans also enlisted the help of some prominent Boston musicians including Sal Baglio (guitar and vocals on “Harrison Avenue”). Dana Colley (sax on “Riverboys”) and Tom Janovitz (vocals on “Big Love”). Paul Q. Kolderie (Pixies, Morphine, Radiohead) handled the mixing at Camp St. Studio in Cambridge and it was mastered by Ian Kennedy at New Alliance. “Riverboys” is slated for an early 2008 release. For those of you counting, that’s 23 recorded and or released tracks in the space of 16 months. Meanwhile, Satch has twenty tracks on deck for his next project which will consist of his home demos. Kerans has opened shows for fellow roots rockers like Dennis Brennan and Dave Johnston. He performs with his band or solo at clubs in the Boston area including The Kirkland Café, Toad, The Lizard Lounge and the Abbey Lounge as well as Arlene’s Grocery and The Sidewalk Café in New York City. A high school special needs teacher, Satch lives on Cape Ann with his wife Michelle and their son Thomas. For more information or bookings visit: https://www.tradebit.com and https://www.tradebit.com
