Steven Tyler at PPAC

Steven Tyler arrives at PPAC tomorrow night for a much anticipated solo show. The heart and soul of Aerosmith recently relocated to Nashville and released a country influenced album, We're All Somebody from Somewhere . Don’t expect an all country show though – reports from the tour note that he is playing a lot of Aerosmith classics, albeit, toned down a bit, “countrified,” if you like. The “up close and personal” show promises to feature stories and anecdotes from Tyler. Seats are still available starting at $75 – show begins at 8PM.

Celtic Rock Festival

The Celtic Rock Festival arrives at the Alex and Ani City Center tomorrow. The line up includes top Irish/Celtic performers Eileen Ivers, Tartan Terrors, Town Pants, and Pendragon. There will be all kinds of thematic activities including dancers from the Kelly School of Irish Dance. For more details on this family festival, check out our preview here. Tickets are $25 in advance, $35 day of show with further information here.

The Boss at Gillette

The lights will be on an extra 15 minutes at Gillette Stadium next Wednesday when Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band take the stage. The Boss has been playing 4 hour shows on the current tour, and needed the approval of Foxboro authorities to extend the show till 11:30. He's been playing all the classics so plan on a late night as he trys to break the current record of 4 hours and 4 minutes. Tickets are still available for the Foxboro show here.
