The Mallett Brothers Band came to Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, Massachusetts on October 6, 2023. This show was part of their current fall tour. They are an independent band from Maine. Their busy tour schedule since forming in 2009 has helped them to build a dedicated fanbase across the United States and beyond. With a style that ranges from alt-country to Americana, country, jam and roots rock, theirs is a musical melting pot that’s influenced equally by the singer/songwriter tradition as by harder rock, classic country and psychedelic sounds.

They take the audience on a mind-blowing musical trip that they have never been on before. The band members are Eric Gould (bass), Cal Kehoe (guitar), Zac Burwick (Drums) and Richard James (keyboard). The story is ever evolving, and the experience is always exciting.

Dead & Company came rolling through Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Saturday, July 2, 2022.

Phish performed at the Dunkin Donuts Center on Saturday, November 30, 2019. This was the second of two nights at the Dunk to kick off the Phish Fall 2019 Tour. The night consisted of two different sets, as well as an epic four song encore. As I walked towards the pit, i couldn’t help but notice the sea of people already in the arena. Many were sitting (or even sprawled out) on the ground. Most were simply trying to conserve as much energy as possible for the long night of dancing that was to follow.
