About

The Boston summer of 2009 went along as usual; in some regards. Talent crossed paths with talent and the music and entertainment scene in Boston teemed with old and new blood. As with any metropolitan area, hidden talent is rampant. In the spirit of never missing an incredible show, Michael Murphy of the greater Boston area started researching ways to put all the good music and entertainment in one place. Local and fresh, Who's Playing Boston caters to the new talent; giving them the opportunity to keep their calendars up to date and giving their fans the ability to find them no matter what and follow them as they scour the city for opportunity.

Now in it's infancy, WPB has the tools to provide invaluable schedules for the music aficionado. Big and small, the dates and times of each show are manually entered, checked against several sources, and approved by our moderator. We encourage you to suggest shows, artists, and venues. When you email us, you are communicating with real, passionate people.

Who's Playing Boston is built by music lovers to help the Boston music scene become a more navigable place. Our city is running talent, we help you find it and make it easier for it to find you.

If you put your ear to the street, you can hear the rumble of the world in motion; people going to and from work, to school, to the grocery store. You may even hear the whisper of their living rooms, their conversation, their complaints, and if you're lucky, their laughter. If you're almost anywhere in America , you'll hear something different, something special, something you recognize but haven't heard in a long time. It is the sound of a real celebration.

It is not New Year's, and it is not a political convention. It is neither a prime time game-show, nor a music video countdown, bloated with fame and sponsorship. What you are hearing is the love for a music. It is the unbridled outcry of support for a song that sings to the heart, that dances with the soul. The jubilation is in the theaters, the bars, the music clubs, the festivals. The love is for a band.

The songs are honest: just chords with real voices singing real melodies. But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung, is really why people are talking, and why so many sing along.

They are a reality in a world of entertainment built with smoke and mirrors, and when they play, the common man can break the mirrors and blow the smoke away, so that all that's left behind is the unwavering beauty of the songs. That's the commotion, that's the celebration, and wherever The Avett Brothers are tonight, that's what you'll find.
