BRING YOUR LITTLES for a rocking good time! THE LUCKY DUCKIES play upbeat, age-appropriate songs for kids that parents will love. We supply the dancing ribbons, shaker toys, and fun! Dancing, singing along (preferably at the top of your lungs) and general merriment are strongly encouraged. It’s not just a show - it’s a party!

LET'S KEEP THE PARTY GOING with THE LUCKY BASTIDS - Remember those infamous clubs from Boston’s Rock & Roll heyday? The Channel, Green Street Station, Chet’s Last Call, TT The Bears, Bunratty’s, etc.? These Boston music veterans have headlined them all and they’re still rocking strong! With a classic rock vibe, a garage heart, and hints of reggae, surf and punk, this woman-fronted fun bar band knows how to rock! It’s always a good time when The Lucky Bastids play!

There'll be food for purchase from Sweeties Ice Cream.
