See The Fabulous Shun Ng & The Shunettes
One of my favorite up-and-coming acts, Shun Ng & The Shunettes, are performing at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford on February 18th! This show is part of the theatre’s On Stage! series, where the audience sits at tables on the stage facing the auditorium and the artists are also on the stage.

Watch For This Up-And-Coming Artist
I was introduced to Ayla Rose‘s new single, a cover of Tracy Chapman’s big hit, “Give Me One Reason“. What a powerful, soulful voice this 16-year-old woman possesses!

Ayla Rose – Fenway, Boston, MA
Ayla was joined by a great group of musicians, some of whom are friends of mine and others I know by reputation. She is based in the Boston area, and I look forward to seeing her perform.
Check her out by clicking on the song title!
The Green River Festival Adds To The 2017 Lineup!
One of my favorite summer events, The Green River Festival, has announced the first artists for this year and it includes some of my most-loved acts!

Great music, chill atmosphere, fabulous food trucks (seriously), wonderful beer provided – at least in the past – by Berkshire Brewing Company, terrific artisans selling their ware, and hot air balloons all contribute to a spectacular festival!
The 2017 Newport Folk Festival Lineup Announcements Have Begun!
The Newport Folk Festival started its lineup announcements this week and the initial ones are winners!
The First Announcement Of The 2017 Lowell Summer Music Series Lineup
The Lowell Summer Music Series announced its first show of the 2017 season and it is an amazing one. Twenty-time GRAMMY© award winner Vince Gill and his band will appear on Saturday, June 17th!

My Top Ten Shows of 2016
I saw 242 shows last year, which made choosing my top ten shows particularly difficult. While there were some shows I did not love, there were far more incredible shows.
As always, I do not include sets from festivals because the energy at a festival adds so much to an artist’s performance that it is unfair to compare festival sets to ‘regular’ shows.
