Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius released their highly anticipated new self- titled album May 2 via Fantasy Records—their most personal and purposeful work to date. Their fourth studio album, Lucius finds the band returning to their roots with eleven new songs written and recorded without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their 2013 debut. Produced by band-member Dan Molad, the record explores topics such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a unique vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band. Released to widespread critical acclaim, The New Yorker praises, “The band’s new self-titled album reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise,” while Paste declares, “in the versatility of these new songs…it’s clear that their homecoming is a party you’ll want to RSVP to” and The A.V. Club proclaims, “You can hear the emotional and physical growth on this record—the sound of a band confidently evolving and starting a new chapter.”

There are no strangers at a Drew Holcomb show. For the better part of two decades, the award-winning songwriter has brought his audience together night after night, turning his shows into celebrations of community, collaboration, and contemporary American roots music. Strangers No More, the eighth album from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, celebrates that sense of togetherness synthesized in the #1 Americana Song, “Find Your People.” Following her 8-year stint as a member of her husband’s band, Ellie Holcomb’s solo debut, As Sure As The Sun, landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, CANYON, to much acclaim, earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, “I Will Carry You.” The 4x Dove Award winner is also a best-selling author, having written three children’s books and a devotional selling a combined 500,000 copies.  Together, the Holcombs have amassed over 1 billion combined streams, have toured with the likes of Willie Nelson and Lauren Daigle, and have been featured on dozens of TV shows. The “Greetings From New England” tour is a special engagement event, allowing the Holcombs to collaborate once again. $1 Per Ticket Charity Donation $1 per ticket will be donated to the International Justice Mission. Drew & Ellie Holcomb have partnered with the anti-slavery non-profit International Justice Mission to donate $1 (one dollar) from each ticket sale to support the organization’s efforts to rescue children trapped in modern-day slavery and protect people in poverty from violence.

“Let’s Misbehave!” The new Cole Porter musical comedy, High Society, pops with champagne fizz, sizzles with tap dancing, and brims with mad cap mayhem! Set to Porter’s iconic tunes, the story follows socialite Tracy Lord on the eve of her wedding. Her still-smitten ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven, shows up, as does a magazine reporter covering the event—who also falls for Tracy. She soon finds herself in a delightful romantic dilemma, forced to choose among her admirers. Based on Philip Barry’s classic play The Philadelphia Story (1939) and the hit movie High Society (1956) starring Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. “Sparkling, fresh, and brilliant entertainment.”–The Daily Mirror (UK)
