Need an introduction to the alt-country scene in New England? This is the event for you! Mike MacDonald has assembled two nights of great music for the 2nd Annual Alt-Country Extravaganza at Church.
This year, they’re splitting up the bands into two nights. On Friday, March 28th bands start performing at 7pm and then on Saturday, March 29th things start back up again a little earlier at 6pm.
Here’s what the event has to say about itself. See you there!

Photos! Girls Guns & Glory, Cassavettes and Drag The River - 2/8/08
Posted by Sooz | Filed under Girls Guns & Glory, Photos, boston bands, cassavettes, concert photos, drag the river
Girls Guns & Glory, Cassavettes and Drag The River played to a sold out crowd at the Middle East Upstairs on Friday, February 8th. It definitely seemed like one of those shows that would have been much better suited for the bigger downstairs room. Drag The River was in town from Fort Collins, Colorado. I hadn’t heard of them before but they ended up being an excellent surprise. Check out their MySpace page to hear what this country rock band sounds like.
The Cassavettes’ next show in Boston is on Saturday, March 1st at the Hard Rock Cafe with Breaking Laces. Girls Guns & Glory will be at The Beachcomber in Quincy on Friday, February 22nd and then upstairs at Hennessey’s on Wednesday, March 5th with Harris and Tiger City.
Check out the photos from the show on February 8th:
