Live Live: Picks Of the Week
Every week, we highlight an upcoming show in or near Boston as our Pick Of The Week. Our picks reflect musical acts that we think are exceptionally talented on stage and will make sure you leave happy. Chances are, you can see us at the Pick Of The Week show (if it's not too expensive), most likely writing stuff down in our notebooks and gettin' down. Here are our Picks Of The Week, past and present.
