Chris Thile

Sanders Theatre 45 Quincy St, Cambridge, MA

When Chris Thile takes the stage with his mandolin, you never quite know what you’re going to hear. Classical, bluegrass, originals, and covers are all fair game, and he plays everything with flair and conviction. He will perform selections from his most recent release, Laysongs; the album is a solitary reflection on faith, doubt, devotion, and community—it's his most personal work to date.

On Saturday, February 4th, two-time IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass will be performing at Lily P’s Fried Chicken & Oysters in Cambridge, MA. Lily P's is the new home for Bluegrass Tuesdays, the long-running weekly bluegrass series that used to be held at The Cantab Lounge. This special Saturday show is being co-presented by both the BBU and Bluegrass Tuesdays. Lily P's Fried Chicken & Oysters was Boston Magazine's Best of Boston 2022 Best Fried Chicken, so please come early and join us for dinner. Lily P's is located near Kendall Square at 50 Binney Street in Cambridge, MA 02142. This location is less than a mile from the Leverett Circle exit off I-93 and has unlimited FREE garage parking. Lily P's is also only a 10-minute walk from both Kendall (Red Line) and Lechmere (Green Line). Please see the Bluegrass Tuesdays about page for important info about the free garage parking. This show will share some things in common with Bluegrass Tuesdays, while some things will be a little bit different. Here are a few important details, and many more can be found on the Bluegrass Tuesdays' updates page: Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass will be going on at 7 pm, and there will be jamming all over the restaurant starting at 5 pm and lasting well beyond midnight. There is very limited seating and Lily P's will NOT be taking reservations near the stage, so you'll probably want to arrive early and may have to stand for the show. Lily P's will be reserving a very small number of seats (probably fewer than 10) close to the stage for people with health conditions or impairments. … Read More »

Mark O’Connor – Crossing Bridges

City Winery Boston 80 Beverly Street at One Canal, Boston, MA

City Winery Boston presents Mark O'Connor - Crossing Bridges (A Retrospective on His Childhood Years in Music) live in concert on Wednesday, March 8th at 7:30PM. With three Grammy wins, seven CMA Awards, and multiple national fiddle, guitar, and mandolin champion titles, Mark O’Connor’s music and career truly defies categories. In his new partnership with Skyline Artists, Mark has created the “Mark O’Connor Duo” for performing arts centers. The concert features both his originals and classics, and it highlights his violin, guitar, mandolin and vocals along with his wife, Grammy-winning Maggie O’Connor. Going back several decades, he’s been a member of legendary ensembles the David Grisman Quintet, The Dregs, and Strength In Numbers with Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and Edgar Meyer. His solo career includes the multiple Grammy-winning album “New Nashville Cats” featuring his hit “Restless” with Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and Steve Wariner; and the hit sequel song “Devil Comes Back To Georgia” with Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart on his Grammy-nominated “Heroes” album. Then there are recordings with Yo-Yo Ma, “Appalachia Waltz” and “Appalachian Journey” which sold one million copies and 250+ symphony performances of his “Fiddle Concerto.” His TNN tv show “American Music Shop” had a four-year run with guests ranging from Bo Diddley to Emmylou Harris. Currently, due out in April 2021, new release of solo guitar – “Markology II.” Now his Mark O’Connor Duo with his wife and violinist Maggie O’Connor surveys his entire career along with new material.  Their incredible musical chemistry led to yet another Grammy award, this time for Best Bluegrass Album “Coming Home.”
