Bluegrass Tuesdays began in Central Square in Cambridge in September of 1993 and has since grown to host regional and national artists on stage and serve as a weekly gathering place for the local bluegrass community. For 27 years, Tuesday Night Bluegrass at The Cantab Lounge was hosted by Geoff Bartley, about whom reviewer Nate Dow wrote, “If Massachusetts were ever to appoint a Folk Laureate, the honor would have to go to the one and only Geoff Bartley." Geoff welcomed nationally-known bluegrass artists to the stage such as Dale Ann Bradley, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, David Grier, Missy Raines, Jim Hurst, Chris Jones, Molly Tuttle, and the late James King. Bluegrass Tuesdays have also been a place where many bluegrass musicians have met and “cut their teeth”, including members of The Infamous Stringdusters, Crooked Still, Della Mae, The Gibson Brothers, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, The Po' Ramblin' Boys, Mile Twelve, and Joy Kills Sorrow. Bluegrass Tuesdays are now hosted by Tony Watt and held at chef Chris Parsons' restaurant Lily P's Fried Chicken & Oysters in Kendall Square in Cambridge.

At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. The music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in 2014 in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, bringing their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe with stunning results, now coming to Concord Conservatory. Purchase Tickets in advance or payable at the door for this event. ($35 General Admission and free for students 18 and under)
