Brighton, MA

Following yesterday’s selection of The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir as a band to watch, it seems appropriate to also highlight Brighton, MA. After singer/songwriter Matthew Kerstein made the decision to leave The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, he effectively formed the new band Brighton, MA. Comprised of five members, the band’s name is a reference to the town Kerstein was born in and is as much a general statement about nostalgia and “going home again” as it is an actual location. Combining rustic vocals and honest lyrics, their music delivers exactly that kind of nostalgic backporch perspective without being overly sentimental.
