[Boston-Area Action 3/5/25] Shows This Week & New Show Announcements

Posted on March 5, 2025 at 12:44 pm | No Comments

For a few weeks now, every Wednesday I’ve been sharing a list of upcoming Boston-area shows that I’m planning on attending in the seven days ahead, along with a run-down of newly-announced ones that grab me, over on my personal farcebook page. But eff that place. Ideally I’d bail entirely, but I’m so entrenched into the music/events/community aspect of it all. If there was a strictly-music version of zuckland, run by someone, y’know, not evil, I’d be there in a white hot heartbeat.

So in an effort to ween myself off that hellsite, I’m trying to start posting here more often. And thus, this weekly shows run-down. It certainly isn’t meant to be anything close to a complete Boston-area listing, either announced or upcoming, just ones I’m aware of and excited about. As always, have a look at the right-column list for more.

First, the next seven days, March 5th-11th, 2025. If I had a clone, a teleporter, or maybe a cocaine habit, I’d go to all these…

TONIGHT! Do not miss.
