Donna Byrne; Boston jazz vocalist; playing Mad Monkfish April 25
April is a special month. We’re into spring. The weather is warming and we have those religious holidays to celebrate with family. As we smell the fresh cut grass, we anticipate the outdoor events coming up in another month. For now, we are transitioning out of that season of snow shoveling, too much snow shoveling this year. Below are some suggestions where to enjoy good New England live music as the weather gets comfortably warm.
