Summer may be almost over, but the live music in Concord never ends.
In typical Concord summer fashion, there’s another full slate of live music to be heard all over the city this week. In typical Insider fashion, we pulled together as much as we could possibly find to let you know who’s playing, when they’re playing and where.
Here’s what we found:
Wednesday
Paul Lovely will play at Hermanos Cocina Mexicana starting at 6:30 p.m. There’s never a cover charge at Hermanos – you just need to get something to eat and/or drink.
Thursday
Jared Steer will play at Hermanos at 6:30 p.m.
Zooo Crew will play at Penuche’s starting about 9 p.m. Expect to pay a $3 cover.
Joel Begin will play on the patio at Cheers “beginning” about 4:30 p.m. Like Hermanos, there’s no cover – you just need to patronize the restaurant.
The Tom & Drew Show will play at Makris Lobster & Steak House from 6 to 9 p.m. No cover here, either.
Friday
Dread Rocks will bring their reggae tunes to Makris from 6 to 9 p.m.
Laid to Dust and special guest Hickory Horned Devils will rock True Brew at 7 p.m. This is part of True Brew’s Summer in the Square series, and it will be a night of Americana/bluegrass/folk/country music outside in Bicentennial Square. There are no cover charges for the outdoor shows.
Stuck in Time will play at Pit Road Lounge on Loudon Road from 8 p.m. to midnight. There will be a $5 cover charge.
Austin, Texas’s Graham Weber will swing through New Hampshire with a show at Area 23 starting at 8 p.m. No cover.
Saturday
Pit Road Lounge will be busy again, as Kuggertor will take the stage at 8 p.m.
Mellow out with Blue Light Rain, a Grateful Dead tribute band, at Penuche’s starting at 9 p.m. A $3 cover will apply.
Graham Weber’s tour of the Granite State will continue with a show at NEC Concord at 7:30 p.m. The show will be part of the Listening Room series, and it’s free for all to attend.
The Tim & Dave Show will spice things up at Hermanos at 7:30 p.m. The Saturday performances start an hour later than the weekday shows.
Singer and acoustic guitarist Don Bartenstein will play at Area 23 starting about 8:30 p.m.
Sunday
Bartenstein will keep the music going with a show at Makris from 4 to 7 p.m.
The acoustic stylings of Frenchie Unplugged will be on display on the patio at Cheers at 4:30 p.m.
John Franzosa will entertain the dinner crowd at Hermanos at 6:30 p.m.
Monday
Franzosa will make an encore appearance at Hermanos at 6:30 p.m. So if your Sunday is a little too full to catch Franzosa, you still have another chance.
Tuesday
Paul Bourgelais will be the featured performer at Hermanos at 6:30 p.m.
