A Favorite Returns To The Lowell Summer Music Series
The Lowell Summer Music Series announced its next show of the 2017 season and it is a crowd favorite! Trombone Shorty returns to the Series on Saturday, June 10th! He is one of my favorite bands to see live and he is releasing a new album this spring!
Another Great Artist Added To The Lowell Summer Music Series Lineup
The Lowell Summer Music Series announced its next show of the 2017 season and it is another winner! Graham Nash brings his duo act (with Shane Fontayne, who had appeared at the Series with Marc Cohn and Suzanne Vega) for two sets at the Series on Friday, July 21st! Wow!!! I saw him last summer at the Newport Folk Festival and was in tears for most of his too-short set.
The Writer And Subject Of “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” Performing Together At The Lowell Summer Music Series

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!
It Was A Perfect Night At Boarding House Park
I am biased when it comes to The Lone Bellow; they were one of my two favorite sets at the 2013 Newport Folk Festival and my love for them has not diminished. Friday night’s show at the Lowell Summer Music Series was another superb performance by this Americana/indie folk band.

It was a hot and humid evening and that might have affected everyone’s energy level, but the band delivered their trademark energetic show and gained many new fans.
Love Is Love Is Love Is The Indigo Girls
On another beautiful summer evening last week, the Indigo Girls returned for their eighth triumphant appearance at the Lowell Summer Music Series. No other artist has played the Series as often or consistently sold as well as they have!

Classic Rockers At Their Finest!
It can be risky to see aging rock stars perform; they might be playing guitar with arthritic hands, or their voices (which naturally change as they age) cannot hit the notes they still try to hit. Neither could be further from the truth for Peter Frampton, who appeared at the Lowell Summer Music Series last weekend.

The man is ageless!
An Evening In Singer-Songwriter Heaven
I had never seen Mary Chapin Carpenter perform despite wanting to see her, so I was thrilled when her show was announced for the Lowell Summer Music Series this year. I grew even more excited about the show when I read that Rose Cousins would open the show.

Even though a brief unexpected shower occurred a few minutes before MCC was to take the stage, the audience’s spirits were not dampened by the ten-minute delay waiting for the rain to end.
This Was A Terrific Rock Show Under Starry Skies!
The Lowell Summer Music Series is an outdoor – weather permitting – venue, and local favorites Guster wanted this show to be outdoors. Their wish was granted due to wise weather-watching by the people who run the Series. What started off as a terrible afternoon ended up as a perfect evening under the stars.
Guster
This was my first time seeing Guster, despite the band’s numerous shows in the Boston area over the years they have been together.
