The Foreign Landers at Lily P’s Fried Chicken & Oysters

Lily P's Fried Chicken & Oysters 50 Binney St., Cambridge, MA

To get a feel for our Saturday shows, please check out this article (https://bluegrasstoday.com/danny-paisley-the-southern-grass-in-cambridge-ma/) about our first-ever Saturday Night Concert featuring Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass co-sponsored by the premiere bluegrass organization in the region, the Boston Bluegrass Union. And please check out our website (https://bluegrasstuesdays.com/) for a list of upcoming bands on both Saturdays and Tuesdays. This show will share some things in common with Bluegrass Tuesdays, while some things will be a little bit different. Here are a bunch of details to consider if you're thinking about joining us: — There is unlimited FREE garage parking (with no purchase required) but you'll want to familiarize yourself with the parking details listed below. — Mike Compton & Joe Newberry will be playing from 7 until 9 pm with a brief intermission between their sets. — Just like Tuesdays, it’s going to be a Pass-the-Boot show with no cover charge, and the requested donation will be $20. — There will be jamming all over the restaurant (and beyond) after the show; there are basically unlimited jamming locations throughout the building (beyond the restaurant which has just a few). — After-show jamming will go on as long as people are around to jam, but a typical Tuesday night at Lily P's goes until well after midnight. — There will also be a Third Set Jam on stage starting around 9:15 or so, just like we do every week at Bluegrass Tuesdays. Lily P's Fried Chicken & Oysters was Boston Magazine's Best of Boston 2022 Best Fried Chicken, so please come early and join us for dinner. Lily P's is located near Kendall Square at 50 Binney Street in Cambridge, MA 02142. This location is less … Read More »
