Alison Krauss & Union Station

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

 

For nearly four decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated acts in bluegrass and roots music.  Known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are putting the finishing touches on a new album to be released in 2025 - their first since the 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane—a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award winning LP that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts.

Bob Mould

Bull Run Restaurant

Legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist Bob Mould returns with “Here We Go Crazy,” his 15th solo album and one of his most raw and urgent records to date. Stripped down and blistering with emotional clarity, the album reflects Mould’s renewed connection to his roots as a performer - both solo and with his longtime bandmates - drawing on decades of hard-earned wisdom and musical intensity. With 11 tightly packed tracks that pulse with electricity and vulnerability, Mould explores themes of chaos, isolation, trust, and resilience, ultimately finding light in the dark through melody and catharsis.

Peter Mulvey

Firehouse Center for the Arts, Newburyport

Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer/songwriter world. Restless and inventive, his seventeen records span rock and roll, folk, Jazz, spoken word, and Americana. Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee, he took a semester in Ireland, and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring. The wheels have not stopped since.

8:00 pm

Red Hot Chilli Pipers

The Cabot

 

Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!

It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland.

It’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS – (NOT the Peppers!) — a 9-piece ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers — who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless..

Loudon Wainwright III + Chris Smither

Groton Hill Music Center

 

It was the late 1960's on Charles Street in Boston, outside one of the legendary clubs during the folk revival era, when these two new-to-the-scene young musicians first met. They've stayed friends ever since with their paths crossing at folk festivals, concert halls and clubs.  Over the years, the two have guest-appeared on each other's record, Chris sang on "Somebody Else" for Loudon's Older Than My Old Man Now record. Then Loudon lent a hand on Chris' 50-year career retrospective recording Still on the Levee (singing on "What They Say").

The Petty Larceny Band

Bull Run Restaurant

The Petty Larceny Band has been bringing the music of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the Traveling WilburysMudcrutch and associated acts to venues throughout New England for more than a dozen years.

Founded in Worcester, MA, Petty Larceny is, first and foremost, a rock band. Its members chose not to take the impersonation and prop-driven approach when forming a tribute band, instead focusing on capturing the sound and excitement of a live Petty performance for fans and newcomers alike while delivering searing rock performances. It seems to be paying off. In addition to playing packed houses in every New England state across dozens of shows each year, the band has won “Best Tribute Band” three years running in the Worcester Music Awards.

8:00 pm

Will Dailey

Groton Hill Music Center

 

Will Dailey’s seventh album BOYS TALKING is the one he’s not releasing.

Oh, you’ll get to hear it, if you buy a vinyl copy, CD, or download it directly from him. But it won’t be a matter of opening up a streaming platform and pressing play on a chosen date with thousands of other releases. With a record he considers his best work, Will wanted to find another way to celebrate and enjoy the process of sharing the album for more than a day or week. “Music is supposed to be a joyful expression of self that connects us to other people,” Will says. “I want to instill a more personal, joyful process of sharing my work.”

Ellis Paul

Bull Run Restaurant

Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like the artists who have influenced him, everyone from Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greatest inspiration, Woody Guthrie, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless.
