Adam Ezra Group
2025-12-27 20:00 - 22:00 | Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA
Saturday, December 27, 2025
$38 Advance | $40 Day of Show

Doors 7pm | Show 8pm
Opener: Jeff Kazee
– He takes a month out of each year to visit the living rooms of his fans around the country…
– His band and nonprofit organization RallySound host a free festival every summer that raised $151,000 for homeless veterans in 2024…
– He live-streamed for 500 nights in a row during the pandemic…
They co-produced an album with 163 fans…
If you haven’t connected with Adam Ezra Group yet, these are just a few examples to help you understand how this underground, Americana songwriter and his bandmates seem to have popped out of nowhere, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast.
Adam Ezra will joke with you that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician, activist. Without resources, connections, or any kind of clue how the music world works, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. When music venues wouldn’t hire him, he played bars, bookstores, fields, and parking lots, often raising money for causes he cared about; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound.
“We’d play 5 hours a night,” Adam reminisces, “more often than not, in danger of outnumbering the audiences we were playing for…”
So how did this band operating so far outside the traditional music world come to win New England Music Award’s “Americana Act of the Year” in 2023? What could have happened to inspire John Oates to call Adam and invite him to begin a songwriting friendship that would lead to John producing their latest release and co-write, “Hold Each Other Now”? What happened to catch the attention of The Wallflowers, who recently invited AEG to join them on their spring tour, or SPIN Magazine who recently proclaimed, “This Independent Underground Folk Band Is Blowing Up Without Selling Out”?
If you ask Adam, he’ll tell you:
“One person at a time, over many years and thousands of shows, decided to turn their heads to listen. One person at a time decided to share our music with folks they care about. That’s always been our story. It’s no fairytale, but it sure makes me proud and humbled when I look out from the stage to watch theaters full of people singing along to our music.”
These days you’ll find Adam and his bandmates, Corinna Smith (Fiddle), Poche Ponce (Bass), and Alex Martin (Percussion), constantly out on the road. If you look at their tour schedule now, you can buy tickets to see them at festivals, rock venues, and theaters around the country, but you will also see their tour continuously peppered with activism and grassroots events; a testament to an artist who will never forget where he came from, and whose mission is about much more than music.

Funky White Honkies
2026-01-02 20:00 - 22:00 | Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA
Friday, January 2, 2026
$35 Advance | $38 Day of Show
[all-in pricing, no additional fees]
Doors 7pm | Show 8pm
For over 40 years, the Funky White Honkies have been the areas top party band. They invade the Narrows for big dance party. The tables and chairs will be removed for a large dance floor and a good time will be had by all.
Led by the fearlessly un-selfconscious and immensely talented Dinty Child, (perhaps best-known for being a member of Boston roots/rock masters Session Americana), the Funky White Honkies are a rag tag band of fine New England music veterans. More of a ‘tribe’ than a band, the Honkies have been around for years, providing a gorgeously joyous and free dance experience for people of every age, leanings, stripe, and style. With it’s large, rotating band of expert players, and under the spontaneous direction of Dinty, the Honkies converge for one purpose only: to get down and get dirty, laying down a set of grooves that start loose, and build inexorably to nothing less than pure, transcendent jazz/funk/punk fueled cacaphony. On a typical Honkies night (or afternoon; they dig those beach party gigs) Horn players roam about New Orleans style, the washboard player grins under his dusty fedora, the TWO drummers maniacally layer the beats, Dinty wails on an accordion a-top a wobbly amp, polkas start and stop inside disc grooves and the back-up singers bang on tamborines and fall over laughing … all to make you do one thing: free the primal urge to move. As the great funk God George Clinton once said, ‘Free your ass, and your mind will follow.’ Never has dancing felt so natural, so subversive, and so damn good.

Pearly Baker Band
2026-01-03 20:00 - 22:00 | Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA

Calling all Deadheads!!
For the past 40 years, The Pearly Baker Band has been playing Grateful Dead music their way, with some Stones, Beatles, Allman Bros, and JJ Cale thrown in for good measure. Whenever they play a party breaks out. Please join them for what promises to be a sweet and sweaty evening–Let there be songs to fill the air! Please note that the dance floor will be open for this performance.

Pearly Baker Band just celebrated their 40th birthday in May and they are continuing our anniversary year celebration.
“It’s improvisational music, which is very American, like the Dead, we use American folk-based, blues-based, rock-based music as a vehicle to play improvisational music. We never play a song the same way twice, and we like to take chances.”- Kenny Richards of Pearly Baker Band
