After typing the phrase “will not reopen following the COVID-19 pandemic” more times that we’d like to acknowledge over the past two years, it feels like a breath of fresh spring air to report that more greater Boston venues are welcoming back live music. Three spaces — Toad, Charlie’s Kitchen, and Atwood’s Tavern — have recently announced their plans to host regular performances again, reawakening the beat of three different Cambridge neighborhoods and joining the likes of The Cantab, Lilypad and elsewhere.
We can’t say that the pandemic is over — but we can say nature is healing. Read the details below, and then mark your calendar accordingly.
Six months after we reported that shows at Charlie’s Kitchen were “off the table” for the foreseeable future, talent agent Daniel Carswell has announced that shows will return to Charlie’s next month. The second floor of the Harvard Square eatery and venue will once again host three-band bills on Monday nights (a.k.a. Carswell’s signature “Mondays Don’t Have To Suck” programming), starting March 21.
