VIKESH KAPOOR

Vikesh Kapoor’s recent record “Newspress Scare,” a 7-inch vinyl with digital download, was released in February 2010 by Good People. Kapoor performed a sold-out record release show in Cambridge before heading out on a 3-week Midwestern and Northeastern tour. The record has received attention from the Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix, the Portland Phoenix, and mainstay blogs like "I Guess I'm Floating." He has supported artists ranging from Tim Fite to AA Bondy.

More recently, Kapoor was asked to sing an original composition at Howard Zinn's memorial service at Boston University, alongside Noam Chomsky and other prestigious speakers and civil rights activists.

In June 2010, Kapoor won the Best Music Award in the Folk category presented by the Boston Phoenix, the city's largest arts & entertainment publication. He was the only artist nominated without a full-length album, with senior music editor Michael Brodeur championing Kapoor's "Newspress Scare" as one of the best releases in Boston of the year.

In December 2010, Kapoor was nominated for two Boston Music Awards in the Folk and Singer-Songwriter categories and is currently working on a record in Portland, Oregon.
