Steve Gunn, William Tyler, Special Guests @ Union Pool
It’s the final night of Steve Gunn and William Tyler’s four-show residency at Union Pool, featuring Steve Gunn and William Tyler begin their four-show Union Pool residency at Union Pool featuring “solo performances, duets,” and they’ll “be welcoming many’a special guest friends to the stage to join them.”

Richard Thompson @ Symphony Space
Songwriting giant, Fairport Convention founding member and one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Richard Thompson flips the concert experience for this special show where spontaneity replaces the setlist. He'll be letting the audience decide what he plays, in real time, and unknown to all (including Thompson) until the moment he draws an audience request onstage.
Ripe, Phony PPL @ Webster Hall
Boston funk band Ripe headline this show, and if you're going, don't miss local genre-defying hip hop/jazz/soul/etc band Phony Ppl.
Lytic, Pique, Service, Chiming @ Windjammer
