SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's
DESCRIPTION:Jams and concerts every Tuesday at this Cambridge institution\, going strong for over 25 years! Check the web site to join the mailing list and find out who is playing this week. https://bluegrasstuesdays.com/ \n\n\n\n5:15 pm – My Beginner-to-Intermediate Bluegrass Jam continues to meet nearly every Tuesday\, but you’ll have to email me at tonywatt@gmail.com to be sure. This is a “teacher-directed” jam where we never know what songs we’re going to play\, but we’re limited to no instrumentals and no very fast nor very complex songs. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam meets every week and is suitable for those who have some experience jamming already and can play songs and tunes\, recognize chord changes\, and play well with others. \n\n\n\n6:45 pm – Ed’s Fiddle Tunes at 80 BPM Jam now meets in the hallway behind the kitchen\, right by the stairwell to the garage. This jam focuses on classic bluegrass instrumentals played at very reasonable tempos. \n\n\n\n7:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam typically evolves out of Kelley’s Intermediate Jam and then moves out back unless the weather is nice enough to play outside. \n\n\n\nPlus\, jamming throughout the restaurant until all hours! \n\n\n\nFor more information about any of these jams\, please visithttps://bluegrasstuesdays.com/jams.html and email me at tonywatt@gmail.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Caleb Klauder and Friends - Lily P's
DESCRIPTION:Part of the OTAF night at Lily P’s. \nCaleb’s study and understanding of roots music is so dedicated and rich\, that he can hauntingly immerse himself in the same perspective of those old primitive country composers and write as if he was right beside them. Their album Innocent Road includes a clutch of lovingly arranged Klauder originals\, along with well-placed and rare covers. The pair bring the spirit of legendary country duos into their contemporary takes on country music. Trading vocals back and forth\, they complement each other strikingly well in an attractive meld of honky-tonk that brushes shoulders with trad bluegrass. Caleb has penned over 50 songs many of which are standards across America in honky tonk and bluegrass jams and festivals\, both on and off stage. There is a long list of bands and singers who have recorded Caleb’s songs over the years. \nThe blend of true harmonies\, the sharply-written country songs\, and the un-showy authenticity strike a rich vein that makes them seem like they are born and raised in Music City. They quietly pursue a musical vision without much of a care for what’s expected or in vogue at the time. There’s a lot to admire in this singular perseverance and honesty. \n“…a salve for dark times.” \n“…a vibrant array of genres and sounds\, from bluegrass to modern folk\, sharing in harmonies like some of the greats —Rawlings and Welch\, Harris and Parsons— and letting the power of their earthen voices fit to the song.” \n“…and uplifting approach to delivering a sometimes sad message\, using buoyant melodies and fiery\, footstomping arrangements.” \n-No Depression\, Mae Ferguson

SUMMARY:Twisted Pine at Spire Center
DESCRIPTION:On October 18th\, Twisted Pine releases its joyous third LP\, Love Your Mind\, on Signature Sounds Recordings. The title represents the quartet landing on a more expansive sound than ever\, after years of touring\, serious introspection\, bouts of self-doubt\, glorious bursts of creativity\, and many after-hour festival jam sessions and pickin’ till dawn. \nCo-produced by the band and longtime-collaborator Dan Cardinal at his studio Dimension Sound in Boston\, the record is loaded with experimental production\, fearless songwriting featuring input from each member\, finely-crafted collaborative arrangements\, playing that’s virtuosic and visceral. It’s a reflection of what the band listens to. It’s buoyant pop and delicate folk\, raging old-time energy\, and old-school r&b grooves. \nOn vinyl and on stage\, the sound of Twisted Pine is unmistakable\, exuberant\, daring. \nWhat started as a (semi-)traditional bluegrass band in the trenches of the storied folk\, bluegrass\, and Americana scene in Boston a decade ago has bloomed into an ensemble of players who shapeshift across genres. Even the expansive “progressive bluegrass” label doesn’t come close to capturing their musical scope.

SUMMARY:Twisted Pine at The Word Barn
DESCRIPTION:On October 18th\, Twisted Pine releases its joyous third LP\, Love Your Mind\, on Signature Sounds Recordings. The title represents the quartet landing on a more expansive sound than ever\, after years of touring\, serious introspection\, bouts of self-doubt\, glorious bursts of creativity\, and many after-hour festival jam sessions and pickin’ till dawn. \nCo-produced by the band and longtime-collaborator Dan Cardinal at his studio Dimension Sound in Boston\, the record is loaded with experimental production\, fearless songwriting featuring input from each member\, finely-crafted collaborative arrangements\, playing that’s virtuosic and visceral. It’s a reflection of what the band listens to. It’s buoyant pop and delicate folk\, raging old-time energy\, and old-school r&b grooves. \nOn vinyl and on stage\, the sound of Twisted Pine is unmistakable\, exuberant\, daring. \nWhat started as a (semi-)traditional bluegrass band in the trenches of the storied folk\, bluegrass\, and Americana scene in Boston a decade ago has bloomed into an ensemble of players who shapeshift across genres. Even the expansive “progressive bluegrass” label doesn’t come close to capturing their musical scope.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's
DESCRIPTION:Jams and concerts every Tuesday at this Cambridge institution\, going strong for over 25 years! Check the web site to join the mailing list and find out who is playing this week. https://bluegrasstuesdays.com/ \n\n\n\n5:15 pm – My Beginner-to-Intermediate Bluegrass Jam continues to meet nearly every Tuesday\, but you’ll have to email me at tonywatt@gmail.com to be sure. This is a “teacher-directed” jam where we never know what songs we’re going to play\, but we’re limited to no instrumentals and no very fast nor very complex songs. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam meets every week and is suitable for those who have some experience jamming already and can play songs and tunes\, recognize chord changes\, and play well with others. \n\n\n\n6:45 pm – Ed’s Fiddle Tunes at 80 BPM Jam now meets in the hallway behind the kitchen\, right by the stairwell to the garage. This jam focuses on classic bluegrass instrumentals played at very reasonable tempos. \n\n\n\n7:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam typically evolves out of Kelley’s Intermediate Jam and then moves out back unless the weather is nice enough to play outside. \n\n\n\nPlus\, jamming throughout the restaurant until all hours! \n\n\n\nFor more information about any of these jams\, please visithttps://bluegrasstuesdays.com/jams.html and email me at tonywatt@gmail.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Hound and Handler EP Release
DESCRIPTION:Hound & Handler is a high-energy Bluegrass/Americana band from Boston who released their debut LP ‘Lies & Advice’ in September 2023. They deliver lively original songs centered around the struggles of establishing oneself in a time & place where the vast majority of money is funneled straight to the fortunate few\, leaving the rest of us to fight for scraps. Established in 2021 as an Americana band including drums and occasional electric guitars\, the band has since honed their bluegrass roots\, now featuring a lineup of Sean Davis playing mandolin\, guitar and singing high-lonesome harmonies\, Ross Kiah on guitar and lead vocals\, and Joe Everett joining the band on upright bass and vocals.\nhttps://hound-handler.bandcamp.com/album/lies-advice \nWith All She Wrote
