Each month on the Second Tuesday at Toad/McCarthy’s
The Flat Earth Rounders are an omin-trad genre-fluid old timey stringband led by bandleader Zach Meyer. Propelled by Zach’s deep-seated and universal connection to roots music of all kinds combined with his ability to play whichever instrument is most fitting, the Flat Earth Rounders repertoire spans a wide variety of roots music deep cuts ranging from Appalachian fiddle tunes, to Cajun dancehall classics, to 1930s clarinet rags, and more!
Backing Zach are a rotating cast of local all stars, including Erica Weiss, Oliver Strand, Rachel Rosenberg, Riley Mullaney, Ben Wetherbee, and Dan Bui. Together, the crew is heralding a Boston-based revival of the 1980s Seattle folk revival, preserving the music composed and recorded by luminaries such as Jack Link, Hank Bradley, Mark Graham, the Hurricane Ridge Runners, and Zach’s own father, Bill, while adding their own modern twist.

The musical legacy of John Hartford has found a new chapter with The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project; Mandolinist Sharon Gilchrist, fiddle player Rachel Baiman, and banjo/guitarist Ella Korth bring newly discovered Hartford tunes to old-time and bluegrass fans everywhere. These compositions, found handwritten in 60 notebooks after John’s death, were compiled in The John Hartford Mammoth Collection of Fiddle Tunes, and recorded on the GRAMMY-nominated album, The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project Vol. 1, and Vol. 2: Julia Belle. Julia Belle was co-produced by Gilchrist and released in February 2025. The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project is passionate about sharing these tunes far and wide so that they can become part of the roots music canon for future musicians to love and enjoy.

Plus, they’ve separately racked up 17 Grammy nominations and four wins.

Henhouse Prowlers
2026-08-02 19:00 - 21:30 | Club Passim, Cambridge, MA, United States
With many of their wildest dreams strung across two decades as an outfit, the Prowlers’ sight remains fixed on the future.
It’s been 20 years well spent. The kinship between Ben Wright (banjo, vocals), Chris Dollar (guitar, vocals), Jon Goldfine (bass, vocals), and Jake Howard (mandolin, vocals) is palpable, the four having traveled to places most touring musicians could never predict. Using these experiences as a foundation, there’s truly no limit to where this Chicago-based quartet will go – literally and figuratively.
