This Third Lowell Summer Music Series Announcement Equals Fun!
The third show for the 2016 Lowell Summer Music Series has been announced. The B-52s are returning to the Series on Saturday, September 3rd! Their first show was wonderful and I believe this return will be fantastic.

The second show for the 2016 Lowell Summer Music Series has been announced and it is ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic on Thursday, September 1st! I have never seen him and am already looking forward to it!
First Lowell Summer Music Series Announcement
I am pleased to tell you that the first show announced for the 2016 Lowell Summer Music Series is Colin Hay on Saturday, July 16th! I saw him perform solo several years ago and loved his show, and am excited to see him with a full band!
Lake Street Dive Thrilled And Amazed The Huge Audience In Lowell
I am unsure that my words – or anyone’s words, if truth be told – can adequately describe the incredible performance by Lake Street Dive at the penultimate show of the 26th season of the Lowell Summer Music Series.

This band is on a meteoric rise and I am thankful that I have seen them at reasonable sized venues where the sound is good and the audiences well-behaved and appreciative.
A Sojourn Through Celtic Lands
Brian O’Donovan, the curator/radio personality of the weekly WGBH radio show A Celtic Sojourn, came to the Lowell Summer Music Series with a number of Celtic musicians to present A Celtic Sojourn Roots & Branches Festival. This turned out to be a fine evening at Boarding House Park as the rain never arrived.

Initially the show was to be moved indoors, but an improving forecast caused the Series to hold it outdoors and we were glad for it.
A Rare Solo Acoustic (!) Performance By Mr. Warren Haynes
It was a treat to know that the Lowell Summer Music Series would host the only solo appearance by Warren Haynes on the current tour, and even more of a treat to be in the audience for this show.
Warren Haynes
Haynes is widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists ever (number 23 on one of Rolling Stone‘s top 100 lists), and it is well deserved.
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!
That’s Right, Lowell Loves Lyle Lovett
For the fourth time in the past six seasons of the Lowell Summer Music Series, Lyle Lovett played to a sold-out (or nearly sold-out) crowd in Boarding House Park; three times with his Large Band and once with his smaller Acoustic Band.
Lyle Lovett
I fall more in love with Lovett each time I see him. He is one of the classier musicians I have seen, in addition to being one of the most talented and generous.
