Local music news & events

Familiar tunes: Roll into the long weekend with Eddie Sands, a singer and guitarist with a lengthy list of cover songs, including “Leader of the Band” from Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor’s “Steamroller Blues” and Kenny Loggins’ ode to his brother, “Danny’s Song.” The venue is a dual market and eatery, serving lunch in the daytime while offering bar fare, burgers, entrees and adult beverages at night. Thursday, Dec. 30, 6:30 p.m., Michael’s Flatbread Bar and Grill, 8 Stiles Road, Salem.

New crew: Among the many possibilities for New Year’s Eve entertainment, the Faith Ann Band is a great choice, with a forthcoming album, In Bloom, and new guitarist Mike Stockbridge bringing a solid jazz background to the group. Check out the latest psychedelic single from the disc on their website, but those with a clown phobia may want to skip the video, which has an unmistakable It vibe. Friday, Dec. 31, 4 p.m., Area 23, 254 N. State St, Unit H (Smokestack Center), Concord, more at thefaithannband.com.

Start it up: Is timing the best thing about this new year? Continue Friday night’s fun with The Far, a festive six-piece featuring a male and female lead vocal team. Their setlist stays up to the minute; singer Neely Luna’s cover of Adele’s “Easy On Me” is excellent, as is a fun take of Tone & I’s “Dance Monkey.” They also deliver a few classics, such as Boston’s “Foreplay/Long Time” and “Separate Ways” by Journey. Saturday, Jan. 1, 8 p.m., The Derryfield, 625 Mammoth Road, Manchester, more at thefarband.com.

The Music Roundup 21/12/23

Local music news & events

Back for Xmas: In what’s become a holiday tradition, Abrielle Scharff returns for her fifth annual Abby Holidays show. Now living in New York City — a few years back, her original “New York Makes Me Cry” earned a top three finish in Pop Dust’s Coffee Music Project competition — the Portsmouth native promises “seasonal songs, bad jokes and a lot of love” for her homecoming set. Thursday, Dec. 23, 7 p.m., Portsmouth Book & Bar, 40 Pleasant St,, Portsmouth. Tickets $20 and $25 at eventbrite.com.

Lead into fun: Head to a music-friendly taphouse and eatery for Early Music Christmas Eve, a local showcase starring Becca Myari, Angela Stewart, John Farese and Crazy Steve sharing songs, stories and good cheer. Singer and guitarist Myari has a gorgeous acoustic rendition of the classic “O Holy Night” to anticipate, along with various stouts and barley wines. Friday, Dec. 24, 4 p.m., Area 23, 254 N. State St., Unit H (Smokestack Center), Concord, facebook.com/area23concord.

Rock it forward: Work out post-Christmas ya-yas at Holiday Hardcore Fest 2021, a two-stage event commencing in late afternoon with a sprawling list of bands including Trauma Kit, Hard Target, Sophisticated Adult, Clock Out, I Know A Ghost, Bleach Temple, Trading Heroes For Ghosts, Duress, Spit, Duress, Ten to One, Voluntary Victim, Choke Out, and Slug; by showtime likely a few more will be added. Sunday, Dec. 26, 5 p.m., Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., Manchester, $12 and up at eventbrite.com.

Tri tip time: Joined by area mainstays Paul Costley and Nate Comp, Jess Olson hosts an Artist Showcase. The Granite State singer-guitarist has kept busy of late, recently spending time in Nashville, sharing a stage with new expat Amanda McCarthy at Pete & Terry’s Tavern, and performing at a songwriter round at the Copper Branch club there, along with doing a photo shoot at the Opryland Resort. Tuesday, Dec. 28, 7 p.m., KC’s Rib Shack, 837 Second St., Manchester, facebook.com/TheJessOlsonBand.

All in one: Midweek mirth and music, including an EDM-infused version of “Tequila,” comes from Lee Ross, a Boston dance machine who works keyboards, horns and a psychedelic light show into his act. If that’s not enough, his wild head of hair takes over. One set highlight is the New Orleans second line staple “Money Back,” and he also has a long list of funk, reggae and rhythm & blues bangers at the ready. Wednesday, Dec. 29, 9 p.m., Penuche’s Ale House, 16 Bicentennial Square, Concord, youtube.com/HouseOfLeeRoss.

The Music Roundup 21/12/16

Local music news & events

Holiday cheer: Hosting its annual benefit show, the Uncle Steve Band is a friendly combo whose audience was once described as consisting of “old hippies, college kids, families with young children, and everyone else.” Featuring fiddle and harmonica, they lead with a country rock vibe, though a recent original, “To Be In Love Alone,” has a soulful groove. Proceeds from the event go to Bristol Community Services. Thursday, Dec. 16, 7 p.m., Kathleen’s Irish Pub, 90 Lake St., Bristol. Admission $10 at the door.

Winter party: A mini-festival starring Grammy-nominated mandolin player Matt Flinner and roots band Low Lily marks the solstice — what optimists term the turn towards spring. Possessing a wide-ranging style that’s found him working with Leftover Salmon, Steve Martin, Modern Mandolin Quartet and others, Flinner was called “the most exciting and creative mandolin player on the scene today” by Jazz Times. Friday, Dec. 17, 7 p.m., Bank of NH Stage, 16 S. Main St., Concord, $23 at ccanh.com.

Guitar heroes: Three veteran guitarists team up for Masters of the Telecaster, a trio devoted to the Fender-forward music of Roy Buchanan, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and others. The show stars G.E. Smith, known for his time in the SNL Band and stints with Hall & Oates and Roger Waters; Jim Weider, who stepped in for Robbie Robertson in The Band; and Jon Herington, who currently tours with Steely Dan. Saturday, Dec. 18, 8 p.m., Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry, $35 and $40 at tupelohall.com.

Groovy time: Six-piece funk fusion powerhouse Mica’s Groove Train returns to a music-friendly downtown tap room and restaurant. Led by Yamica Peterson, a soulful singer and keyboard player with a voice that can lift a crowd from its chairs and onto the dance floor, the band made a splash in the early 2010s before taking a multi-year hiatus. Back and busy, the band leads with a solid catalog of original songs. Saturday, Dec. 18, 8 p.m., Strange Brew Tavern, 88 Market St., Manchester. See msyamicapeterson.com.

Sunday fun: Enjoy afternoon tapas and music from The Incidentals, a quartet whose repertoire ranges from Sinatra to the Ramones. It’s not clear if that includes a punk rock version of “My Way,” though perhaps — Sid Vicious covered that song once upon a time. The restaurant is renowned for its inventive sharable small plates and a cocktail bar that extends the Grateful Dead theme with a grapefruit-flavored Sugar Magnolia martini. Sunday, Dec. 19, 4 p.m., Stella Blu, 70 East Pearl St., Nashua, stellablu-nh.com.
