Brief Awakening is an all female original alternative rock trio featuring: piano, djembe, drums, acoustic guitar, and bass. In September 2008, Brief Awakening danced into the Boston music scene playing numerous clubs and events such as The Middle East, The Midway, and Wake up the Earth Festival. With unique instrumentation and dual-lead female vocals rich with harmony; Brief Awakening’s sound has been compared to Belle and Sebastian, Fiona Apple and many things in between. Lyrical subjects range from to poetically personal to the fight for equality and justice for all people. Since 2009, Brief Awakening has been organizing a seasonal event called Goddess Fest which brings together musicians, poets, and artists to perform and celebrate women in the arts.  (write up courtesy of Kat Arrants)
