The Mavericks Sunday
The Mavericks are a hard to categorize but easy to listen to Americana band that brings elements of country, Latin, and rockabilly together. The band from Miami has won numerous awards including the 2015 Grammy for best Americana Duo or Group. Expect tunes from their 25-year career as well as new songs from Mono, released in 2015. The play Indian Ranch in Webster, MA tomorrow at 5PM. Laura Cantrell opens.
Indigo Girls Sunday
If their 2015 show at PPAC is any indication, the Indigo Girls get better every time you hear them. (Check our review here to see what we mean.) Sunday night, the top selling duo returns to Providence for a show at Lupo’s. Expect to hear songs from their 30-year career including tunes from the 2015 release One Lost Day. Lucy Wainwright Roche, a talented folksinger from a family of folksingers, opens at 7:30. Tickets available here.
