Chris Smither
Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MAThursday, December 3, 2026 $49 Advance | $51 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm Born in Miami, during World War II, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother’s ukulele. “Uncle Howard,” Smither says, “showed me that if you knew three chords, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords, you could pretty much rule the world.” With that bit of knowledge under his belt, he was hooked. “I’d loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn’t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style, to a degree, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.” In his early twenties, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-’60s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged […]

King, and Jimi Hendrix.

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 […]
