Petrina Foley
Artist, Musician, and Teacher in Boston, Massachusetts
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. Between 2009-2011, Petrina spent her time in Los Angeles performing, writing and working as a session singer for Berry Gordy's family production Company. Back in Boston, Petrina has been crafting new material as well as building up her Vocal Instruction studio.
