Do you grapple with how to stay relevant in middle age and/or in your relationships? Pick up a thing or three from Somerville-based singer-songwriter Celia Slattery, who deals with these subjects in her jazz and folk-rock music. June Wulff, Boston Globe. Celia’s original music weaves elements of jazz and folk-rock with perceptive lyrics inspired by artists like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Leonard Cohen. The themes of her original songs range from enduring relationships (Our Life Together) to staying relevant in middle age (Washed-up Middle Aged Wise Woman Blues). No Return is a song about the difficulty of creating change that was inspired by Hurricane Sandy and the Newtown shooting, while Another Sleepless Night speaks to the stresses of being a woman in the “sandwich generation”. Crocus is a song about the death of a loved one. Celia is backed by a band of Boston all-stars, including Jane Potter on piano, Thomas Hebb on bass, Steve Kirby on guitar, and Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, Paul McCartney, Elton John, etc.) on Drums.
