I can hear The Beatles in my head singing “It’s been a long, cold lonely winter.” For months, we’ve all been trapped inside a small world consisting of work, home, and the grocery store. Live music has been denied to us entirely in some New England states while being limited in its presentation in others. Hopefully, the powers that be have gotten a handle on this pandemic mess, and, with the warm weather allowing us out of poorly ventilated homes and buildings, we can enjoy a music drenched month of July. Here are some New England live music offerings to keep us occupied while we celebrate our Independence as well as numerous beach days.
