Music and Technology in Boston, Round Two

Last month we brought you Boston: The Hidden Hub of Music and Technology, a look at the surprisingly large but previously under-reported cluster of local startups that are mixing up music, software, computing, and the Web in various innovative ways. Readers responded eagerly to our piece, and thanks to their comments and suggestions, we’ve come up with seven new listings to add to our original group of 14 companies.

We’ve folded our newest writeups into the original story, but just for convenience, here’s a list of the additions:

  • AdME
  • Bandsintown
  • Nellymoser
  • Sonivox
  • Tourb.us
  • Tourfilter
  • Venue Czar

    • As busy as the music scene is in Boston, we’re sure we’ve missed some companies that deserve to be on our list. If so, please let us know by leaving a comment.

    Also, keep an eye on Xconomy for an announcement about our big January 2008 networking event, a battle of the the bands featuring musicians from some of your favorite local firms and universities. If your band is interested in participating, e-mail us at [email protected].

    Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
