Biography
Reed Dickinson is a Boston, MA area native who's been recording his own music since 1996. He recorded the retro rock CD Playing Games with the Sun and released it in August 2001 to critical acclaim.
Reed released Ruby (Rock) in 2003. Ruby was engineered and produced by the late great Paul Caruso at Bay Farm Sound Studio, MA. Paul was well known for his work with the band Aerosmith and solo artist Joe Perry. Paul also lent a hand with drums and percussion.
Reed released The Bay Farm Sessions (Country/ Pop) in 2006. It was a compilation of the last sessions he recorded with Paul Caruso before Paul's untimely death in May 2006. It also includes some of the great Boston musicians that made up the Playing Games with the Sun and Ruby sessions. But this time Reed introduces a new female lead vocalist, Erin Vulgamore, to these sessions.
Two of the cuts from this CD, "Somebody's Somebody" (country/pop) and "Today" (Christian), will be featured on the CD "Sheltered In Love" which will be released in January 2007 to raise money for Covenant House.
"Today" will also be featured at hurricanehealing.us. Hurricane Healing is a website where you can hear and buy music donated by artists from all over the world. Funds received will aid victims of the 2006 Hurricane Season.
Reed's songs are featured on a number of internet radio stations including The Spirit Radio and Celebrate Radio.
