The Brothers Project brings one of New England's most authentic Allman Brothers experiences to The Fallout Shelter, reimagined as an intimate in-the-round recreation of the early Muscle Shoals scene unlike anything fans of this band have seen before. The band locks into the twin-guitar interplay, dual drumming, Hammond organ, and deep blues harp that made the Allmans one of America's greatest bands. All the hits, all the reverence, but like being in the studio instead of the stadium.

Thu, July 30, 2026 7:00pm
A New England Music Hall of Famer with multiple Blues Music Award nominations, Greg Piccolo has shared stages with visionaries such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pat Benatar, and many more. Alongside Heavy Juice, he moves fluidly between haunting tenor sax ballads, honking rock and roll, and original R&B gems on guitar, every note in service of the song. Six decades in, he remains one of the most distinctive voices in traditional jazz, blues, and R&B, and this is a rare chance to see him up close.

Blues Torch
Pure Powerhouse Blues!
Fri, Aug 7, 2026 7:00pm
Ryan Newman, Matt Swanton, and Brad Dubay are three of New England's most electrifying young blues guitarists, brought together by an unplanned rehearsal jam that turned into a band. Backed by a veteran rhythm section, the combination of young intensity channeled through seasoned discipline makes the show hit differently. Three guitars, a century of road, and a sound that pulls from delta blues, Chicago electric, and Southern rock while answering to none of them alone.

It's a genre-bending, pure power experience you won't want to miss.

Sat, Aug 22, 2026 7:00pm
When harmonica virtuoso Jason Ricci and organ master Bruce Katz share a bill, it's already a can’t miss night, but add guitar wizard Damon Fowler and it becomes something else entirely.
