The Curtis Mayflower
Our “free show of the week” is Saturday night at Nick-A-Nees in Providence where two area bands are scheduled to perform. Worcester’s The Curtis Mayflower are an up-and-coming act with a jam-band vibe. Their debut album, Everything Beautiful is Under Attack, got a lot of great press, and made them a force on the regional scene. Also on the bill, Providence’s own Cowboy and Lady, who will be throwing a record release party backed by their full band. The show is Saturday night starting around 9PM. (Photo: Gary Alpert)
