THIS WEEKEND

🎸 Mogwai

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (7PM)

Mogwai is not your garden-variety post-rock band. With mostly instrumental music, think soundtracks for the best movie you’ve never seen, or the one you wish your life was.

🎤 Durand Bernarr

Tomorrow @ Wonder Ballroom (7PM)

GRAMMY-nominated fearless disruptor Durand Bernarr brings his blend of soul, R&B, and funk to Wonder Ballroom.

📣 Dawes

Sunday @ Revolution Hall (6PM)

Bask in the golden glow of jangly guitars and harmonies when Dawes takes the stage and hits you with a Crosby, Stills & Nash nostalgia trip.

🔥 Smino 

Sunday @ Crystal Ballroom (6:30PM)

Smino moonwalks across genres like he’s got cheat codes for funk, neo-soul, and hip-hop, all while making it look as easy as finding drama on Twitter (Yes, we’re still calling it that).
