Squirrel Flower performs "Streetlight Blues" live at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA, for a Front Row Boston socially-distant session. Ella O'Connor Williams discovered the Boston DIY and folk music scenes when she was a teenager. Last year, she released her debut I Was Born Swimming, a poetically-charged album that landscapes change and the shift within relationships. "There's so much in the record about movement and stagnation," Williams said. "Feeling stuck, needing to move, needing to stay still, swimming, falling, running, growing, etc, etc. The album's lyrics feel like an effortless expression of exactly the way it feels to change — abstract, sad, and hopeful." Williams took home the award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Boston Music Awards.
