Details:
Boris McCutcheon had been collecting the pieces of his musical mosaic long before he picked up a guitar 15 years ago. He was born in 1969 in Holliston, MA, grew up on farmland, and attended Marlboro College in Vermont. For 9 years, he soaked up the scenery and spirit of New Mexico and Northern California before returning to the east coast sea-sprayed village of Woods Hole, MA. Boris has made his living as an organic farmer and an irrigation designer. He knows hay from straw.

Boris writes songs with organic, gritty beauty, but they're not precious. He doesn't like songs that are precious. Instead, he depicts the natural world, walls built by human hands and emotions, and characters cloaked in sadness with piercing imagery. Boris has a unique knack for noticing sights, sounds, and feelings that are beneath the surface, or askew. His lyrics can take a fantastic turn and more than a few will prompt you to ask, "How did he ever come up with that?"
