Keely Burn Announces Latest Masterpiece, “Not My Masterpiece”

By Jaci Jedrych

Richmond, Va.-based singer/songwriter Keely Burn announces her latest album, “Not My Masterpiece,” to be released later this month. Burn has released two EPs prior to this project: “Lightning Eyes” in 2015 and “I’ve Never Been More Awake” in 2019.

Although she considers herself an introvert, Burn has dreamt of performing for packed houses since she was a teenager. She thinks that her teen self, “would be amazed at where I am now.” Four of the songs on the album were written by Burn as a teenager, connecting this album to her roots and allowing her to realize a dream she has held for a long time.

While dipping into many genres, “Not My Masterpiece” appeals to fans of eclectic pop like Regina Spektor for its quirky, tounge-in-cheek humorous songs. She describes one song as “Billie-Eilish-on-Zoloft”, indicating the heartfelt lyrics coupled with upbeat indie pop.

The album makes its debut on June 25, 2021. Check out the video for Keely’s lead single “Masterpiece.”

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
