Petrina Foley

Boston singer-songwriter, Petrina Foley brings a unique blend of soul infused rock that evokes vivid imagery, with well thought-out lyrics and fiery rock & roll arrangements.

Born and raised in Boston, Petrina fronted the roots rock band Oddway through 3 EP’s and a full length album release in 2007 along with regional and national touring, supporting such acts as The Samples, Vince Welnick of The Grateful Dead, Kyle Cook of Matchbox 20 and many others between 2002-2007.

After Oddways disbandment in late 2007, Petrina focused her efforts on her solo EP, Proper Goodbye, with producers Sean McLaughlin (Elliot Smith, Maroon 5) and Brad McCarthy. Petrina takes every bit of fear, joy and knowledge from her experiences, and formulates them into every song, making each one clearly delivered reflections of her life that are carried through her true raw emotion.

Since the release of Proper Goodbye in October of 2008, Petrina has been focusing her efforts on her songwriting and defining her direction and vision for her future as a solo artist. As we approach the Summer of 2013, we embrace the release of Petrina’s new single “For You” along with its sister track, “Just Can’t Take It”.
