As the ground finally thaws and the air feels less like pain, leaving the home is less of a chore and more of a welcomed opportunity, but you may be asking yourself, what do I do first??

Have no fear, the lovely minds behind handhold presents, Zone 3, and, yours truly, Allston Pudding have scheduled a series of spring concerts to be held inside at the Zone 3 space (that’s 267 Western Ave in Allston, by the way) from March-June. Consisting of 8 shows total, the evenings are billed top-to-bottom with some of the area’s best artists, every show is open to all ages, and did we mention it’s absolutely free?! We’ll even have free food & refreshments too (while supplies last)! Shows will be held on select Thursdays throughout March into June, so be sure to follow us or Zone 3 on Instagram for more information.

First up, we have The Collect Pond, Tuxis Giant and Grace Givertz performing this Thursday, March 27th. Featuring Allston Pudding’s own Dan Moffat and Ben Bonadies, The Collect Pond released their rollicking third album Lightbreaker (one of our local faves) last year. Keeping the indie rock going, dual citizens of Boston & NYC Tuxis Giant bring their “sometimes quiet, sometimes loud” sound before handing things over to Grace Givertz. A multi-talented artist and proud lizard parent (among many other creatures), Givertz has become a sort of indie Boston icon with her humorous and heartbreaking songs. What we’re saying is it’s got all the makings to be a lovely night out with friends, family and sweet, sweet music. 

So what are you waiting for? Grab your partner, your kids, heck even grab grandpa (I heard he’s a huge fan of Tuxis Giant) and come on down to Zone 3 at 267 Western Ave in Allston this Thursday, or one of the select Thursdays through June to enjoy the show!

Every show during the Allston Pudding x handhold Spring Concert Series is free to attend for all ages, including this Thursday March 27th. That said, we greatly encourage you to RSVP to one (or all of them) right here.
