[Boston-Area Action 3/19/25] Shows This Week & New Show Announcements
Posted on March 19, 2025 at 12:17 pm | No Comments
Another Wednesday, so another rundown of Boston-area shows on my personal calendar in the next seven days, along with recent area show announcements that you might want to know about. The requisite disclaimer: It’s not meant to be a complete Boston-area show list by any means, either for the announced or upcoming gigs, just ones that may float my personal boat.
First: Boston-area shows happening in the next seven days that I’m planning to (or hoping to) check out. Time & energy-willing. Then: Newly-announced Boston-area shows that I’m into. Or might be into. Or that you might be into.
All I can really think about is that WE GET TO SEE IDA & TSUNAMI PLAY TOGETHER THIS WEEKEND. GAAAAH! Sorry to shout. But that deserves it.
