Squirrel Nut Zippers Christmas Caravan 2026 live at the Narrows
Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MAWednesday, December 16, 2026 $82 Advance | $84 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm For more than three decades, the Squirrel Nut Zippers have occupied a musical universe entirely their own. Blending the hot jazz of 1920s New Orleans, Southern roots music, vaudeville, blues, folk traditions, and a healthy dose of irreverent showmanship, the band emerged from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in the mid-1990s and quickly became one of the most distinctive and unexpected success stories of the era. Founded by Jimbo Mathus, Katherine Whalen, and Chris Phillips, the Squirrel Nut Zippers began as a musical antidote to the alternative rock and grunge dominating the airwaves. Their wildly inventive sound—equal parts jazz revival, Americana, and carnival spectacle—captured the imagination of audiences looking for something entirely different. That difference paid off in a big way. The band's 1996 breakthrough album Hot became a platinum-certified phenomenon, spawning the hit single "Hell," which climbed to #13 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay Chart, and propelled the Zippers from cult favorites to national stars. More than three million albums sold followed, along with appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, Late Show with David Letterman, Sesame Street, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. They performed at Carnegie Hall with Tony […]

Adam Ezra Group live at the Narrows
Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MASaturday, December 26, 2026 $50 Advance | $53 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm We don’t see many artists building the kind of momentum Adam Ezra Group is generating right now. What has grown over more than two decades of relentless grassroots touring has become something far bigger than a typical touring band: a fiercely independent, fan-powered community that continues to expand one show at a time. Rooms across the country are selling out when Adam Ezra Group comes to town, with longtime fans regularly traveling across state lines to catch multiple shows, drawn by the band’s deep sense of community and the promise that no two nights are ever the same. The band never performs from a fixed setlist, instead shaping each night around the energy in the room. Songs, stories, and moments unfold in real time—part concert, part revival, and part reminder of what live music can still be at its best. Blending folk/Americana soul, rock ’n’ roll energy, and deeply human songwriting, Adam Ezra Group has built one of the most authentic underground followings in live music today while quickly becoming recognized on a national level. As SPIN recently put it, they are “an independent underground folk band blowing up without […]
