The Linemen Saturday
The Linemen are a veteran group of roots rockers who have recently been climbing the Americana charts with their new album Close the Place Down.

John Fuzek Saturday
Also playing before a hometown crowd Saturday night is John Fuzek at Chester’s in Smithfield. Fuzek is a mainstay on the local music scene - he does it all, from writing original music, interpreting the greats, as well as producing and promoting events like the Providence Folk Festival. Expect to hear originals, covers, and a few obscure classics, and perhaps a holiday song or two. Music starts at 6:30. Details here.
Aine Minogue Saturday
Common Fence Music in Portsmouth has a Winter Solstice Concert Saturday night with Celtic folk performer Aine Minogue. Born in Ireland, the Boston based harpist/singer will share songs and stories from her recent DVD Winter, A Meditation. Music at 8PM, tickets are $20 in advance, $23 at the door.
Donna the Buffalo Sunday
Donna the Buffalo's socially conscious blend of cajun, zydeco, rock, folk, reggae, and country music began over twenty years ago and has evolved into a soulful electric Americana mix. The popular band, who’ve appeared at the Rhythm and Roots Festival, always gets audiences up and dancing – expect that and more tomorrow night at the Odeum on Main Street in East Greenwich. Tickets start at $24 for the 7PM show. Details here.
