Trombone Shorty Brought The Funk To Lowell
I have now seen Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue enough times (at least eight) to know that the band delivers a fantastic high-energy show, but this show at the Lowell Summer Music Series surpassed any expectations I had.
Trombone Shorty
It was a gorgeous night in Boarding House Park – not humid, not hot (at least not after the sun passed behind the buildings), and, most important, not raining – and the crowd was ready to par-tay!

Gorgeous Evening Of Acoustic Music Under The Stars
Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts presents a summer concert series that is held – weather permitting – in the courtyard in the middle of the buildings, and it is one of the best ways to spend a summer evening I know.
Sam Lee
This week’s headliner was Sam Lee, a British traditional music specialist who is touring the United States for the first time.
What Is Hip? Tower Of Power, That’s What!
I am sure it was with reluctance that the first appearance of Tower of Power at the Lowell Summer Music Series was moved indoors due to inclement weather. TOP, as they are known, is a dance band and the indoor space is not as conducive to dancing as Boarding House Park.
Ray Greene
Still, TOP brought much so energy and talent to the stage that evening that, in the long run, nobody minded sitting in a high school auditorium.
Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen Rocked The House
On Saturday night, I left the mellowness of the Gordon Lightfoot show at the Lowell Summer Music Series and headed to The Back Page Jazz and Comedy Club to see Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen tear the roof off the venue!
Ted Drozdowski
Sometimes a transition such as that can be jarring; this was not. Maybe I was simply in the mood to be rocked. More likely, though, it was because the music was terrific.
Come Hear Sweet Soul Music At The NEW Extended Play Sessions
The first show at the NEW Extended Play Sessions at the Fallout Shelter is on Friday, August 7th, 2015! It’s Gedeon Luke and The People!
Hailing from the streets of Memphis, soul music flows through Gedeon Luke’s veins in rainbow-colored hues. Weaned on the gospel infused sounds of Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield and Al Green and inspired by the rock ‘n roll passion of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Gedeon combines the greatest elements of the rich history of a musical upbringing to create a sound that is completely his own.
