CALL THE SITTER

  • Feb 3: Lettuce @ Jefferson Theater
    There is not a funkier band on the planet than Lettuce. They did a Jerry Garcia Band tribute a few years ago at Lock’n and both Bob Weir and John Mayer sat-in. The latter was there all night until they finally had to stop playing. It’s a nonstop party when Lettuce is in town.

  • Feb 7: ZOSO @ Jefferson Theater
    Look, ZOSO is the closest you’re ever going to get to seeing Led Zepplin live. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But they do a great job and you know and love all of the songs, so just close your eyes and it feels like the real thing. Promise.
