Berklee Brings Inaugural Block Party to Fenway
Berklee is bringing some of Boston’s best live music to Fenway for its first-ever Block Party, celebrating the college’s deep Boston roots and the incredible artists who have emerged from the Berklee community.
The outdoor celebration takes place on Saturday, September 19, from 1 to 6 p.m. at 73 Brookline Avenue in Fenway, right near Berklee’s Boston campus. And the lineup is paced with artists spanning jazz, funk, and more.
Headlining the afternoon is Grammy-winning roots powerhouse Susan Tedeschi, joined by chart-topping Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage, Emmy-nominated cuatrista and composer Fabiola Mendez, psychedelic jazz-funk quintet Dogs in a Pile, and soul-funk showman Dreion. Dreion’s set will also feature special guests Morris Hayes, Tia Fuller, and Zalissa Stewart.
