House of the Dog- Country and Bluegrass by Grain Thief
Join us on Sep 27, 730pm for a performance by Boston quintet, Grain Thief, as they perform their newest work, House of the Dog, a masterful blend of country music and bluegrass.

It is a record that unfolds with effortless grace, full of brand-new tunes you’re sure you’ve heard before, and feels as comfortable as broken-in denim. Thematically, House of the Dog continues the Grain Thief tradition by sharing deep musings on the human experience and wrapping them in everyday tales. This album is destined to take its rightful place in the canon of American music. Tonight, Grain Thief will deliver another showstopping performance that will leave viewers wanting more. $25 Members, $30 Not-Yet-Members.
