Lowell Folk Festival -- at various sites in Lowell from Friday-Sunday, July 27-29. The annual roots music treasure, this year starring neo-honky-tonker James Hand and many others. Check Lowellfolkfestival.org for details.
Mr. Butch tribute -- at Harpers Ferry on Friday, July 27. Renowned Kenmore Square/ Allston character Mr. Butch just passed away and will be remembered by the Ramoniacs, Unnatural Axe, Barrence Whitfield & the Savages, and more.
James Montgomery -- on a concert cruise leaving from Long Wharf at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 27. Bluesman Montgomery will be rocking, preceded by Charlie Farren of Farrenheit fame.
The Police -- at Fenway Park on Saturday and Sunday, July 28-29. I'm tempted to say, "Beg, borrow or steal a ticket to this," but if you're a Police fan, you're probably already going. If you're on the fence, please note that a limited number of extra tickets have been made available this week.
Andrea Gillis -- at the Plough & Stars on Sautrday, July 28. For pure, rock/R&B energy, no one does it better than the Boston-based Andrea. She can wail.
Sugar Ray & the Blue Tones -- at the Sea Note in Hull on Saturday, July 28. With hot weather on tap, it's time to hit the beach. Hang around and catch the Blue Notes at the Sea Note. Should be a great party.
311, Matisyahu, and the English Beat -- at the Tweeter Center on Sunday, July 29. A great triple bill with a reggae-rock tinge, along with ska-rock in the form of the English Beat.
Moody Blues -- at the Bank of America on Monday, July 30. Hey, they're still good after all these years. No joke.
Dave Matthews Band -- at the Tweeter Center on Wednesday, Aug. 1. Dave is a summer fixture and he almost never disappoints. And the talented Xavier Rudd opens up.
