Suki Waterhouse @ Roadrunner - Friday, December 13 with Bully
“OMG”! On Friday, December 13th, Suki Waterhouse is taking over Roadrunner with Bully! The London native singer embarked on her Sparklemuffin tour in October and has finally reached Boston. Suki’s performances are lively and fun, and certainly worth heading on down to the Roadrunner for the evening. The tour commemorates the release of her most recent album, ‘Memoir of a Sparklemuffin’, which is personally one of my favorite albums of 2024. Make sure you’re “Good Looking” and ready “To Love” the performance that’s going to take the city by storm. Opening for Suki Waterhouse is Bully, the solo project of singer Alicia Bognanno. Head on down and kick off your weekend in a way that won’t leave you ‘Supersad’!

Lake Street Dive @MGM Music Hall at Fenway- December 13 and December 14 with Trousdale and Theo Katzman
Boston icons Lake Street Dive, currently on tour for their latest album Good Together, are coming home for two shows at MGM Music Hall at Fenway. The band met while studying at the New England Conservatory and began to garner attention for their unique sound that combines jazz, soul, and rock. The crystal clear vocals of singer Rachael Price have a classic sound and power rarely found in contemporary music, and the harmonies from the rest of the band blend perfectly with the singer. This talent combines with jazzy drum and piano parts and funk bass to create incredible songs like “You Go Down Smooth” and “Bad Self Portraits.” “Dance With A Stranger” at Lake Street Dive on December 13 and 14.
