“Before the Boys”

I recorded a new song over Spring Break. It’s called “Before the Boys.” I recorded it at my sister-in-law’s cabin in Saugerties, NY, a stone’s throw away from Big Pink, the house where Bob Dylan and the Band recorded a couple of iconic albums. The song is about a free-spirited eleven-year-old girl who becomes self-conscious when someone pulls her aside and tells her to be more reserved and feminine because “boys are watching.” It’s told from the point-of-view of the eight-year-old boy who is crushed when the girl gives up her tomboy ways. It will be available on streaming services by the end of the month. In the meantime, here’s a link to the song on Bandcamp: https://marcschuster.bandcamp.com/releases
