The April rain is seemingly behind us, the flowers are springing, but we're not yet upon summer festival season. Soon enough we won't be able to go a weekend without a sleepless night with ringing in our ears as we spent too many hours in the heat a little too close to a bank of speakers broadcasting to the masses. Well, that or a sweet show at Harbor Lights The Pavilion. Tuesday, 5/8 Grant-Lee...

If you look past the fact that the Sox are back at home for their first few games at Fenway this season you'll be able to hear a greater beat on the street. As is often the case there is more good live music going on in town this week than any one person could possibly listen to. Time to clone yourself so you can scoop up a standing room ticket to watch Dice-K...
We're digging through the week's music finding that the best deal of the week for jilted lovers comes from Upstairs on the Square. Local rocker Ad Frank plays a show for only $13 for singles, it's $14,000 for couples. Other than that and the iPod DJ Night at River Gods (you can't do all Al Green) we're ignoring the occurance of Wednesday. You'll probably be too busy for music as you're buying flowers, chocolates, or a teddy bear holding a heart and going out to some fancy dinner or you're likely finding out if someone will actually win the million on Deal or No Deal. Either way Wednesday will likely be a bust.
If you head over to Harvard this Saturday night, you'll have a rare chance to hear, for a modest price, two modern masters of Afro-Cuban jazz bang out Dizzy Gillespie's masterpiece "Manteca," Stan Kenton's quirky "The Peanut Vendor," and a whole lot more great Latin jazz. Trumpeter Brian Lynch and drummer/percussionist Bobby Sanabria will perform at 8pm in Lowell Hall with the Harvard Jazz Orchestra. Lynch has played with the legendary Eddie Palmieri for the...
This weekend both NEMO and the Beantown Jazz festival will be taking place in town. NEMO is a showcase for New England artists, a networking opportunity for the little-known and the big fish. The performances will invade, occupy, and entertain at just about every venue in Boston. It's a great opportunity to see your favorite local band – or discover a favorite you never knew you had. It's a whole lot to take in,...
Eight Days a Week. The music scene is hot, and we realize that we're not giving you enough lead time on some of the best way to cure a case of the Mondays – with a Monday evening show. This week we're putting eight days into our weekly music picks. Starting on Monday and running through the following week. This week we're eating locally – and listening locally. Several local acts find prominence on...
A week ago while Bostonist was watching the Red Sox play the Texas Rangers a little window popped up on the computer - an Instant Message from our buddy, saying, "Holy crap, Manny's wearing Oakley Thump glasses in the outfield." "Excuse me?" said Bostonist. "Yeah dude, you know those Oakleys that have the built-in mp3 player? Manny's got those on!" Bostonist's pal replied. How did he know? Well, said friend is blessed to be...
