Boston’s Mike Cavanaugh has a way with a pop tune and a twist of a phrase. Take John Lennon Or Kurt Cobain from Mike’s latest long-player, Pretend (September 2014), for instance. It’s a fun romp through what a musician might aspire to be. Throughout Pretend, Mike explores folk nuanced pop music. There are plenty of stories here with the usual subjects (love, loss, life), all told well.
