With the temperatures cooling down and the need to bundle up becomes even more imperative, it’s hard to get out of the house. It’s warm! But while not all of our summer activities like outdoor concerts can easily find a winter counterpart, you don’t have to give up live events!
Below are some of the live events happening this November in the Merrimack Valley.
Nathan Carter

Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Trey Anastasio Band & Goose

Start Time: 7:30 pm
Address: Tsongas Center, 300 Arcand Drive, Lowell, MA 01852
Trey Anastasio Band + the American Indie-Groove band, Goose = a match as good as peanut butter and chocolate.
You might recognize the name Trey Anastasio with good reason. Here is what the Tsongas Center described as just part of Anastasio’s history in music: “over the past three decades, composer/guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio has forged a multi-faceted career, winning acclaim in rock, classical and theatrical circles. He is a founding member of Phish, one of today’s most successful and innovative rock bands.”
As for the ‘Goose’ listed in the title, it’s referring to the band of Goose: “Rick Mitarotonda [vocals, guitar], Peter Anspach [vocals, keys, guitar], Trevor Weekz [bass], Ben Atkind [drums], and Jeff Arevalo [vocals, percussion, drums] — fluidly traverse genres with head-spinning hooks, technical fireworks, and the kind of chemistry only possible among small town and longtime friends.”
Livingston Taylor & Tom Chapin
Date: Friday, November 11
Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Address: Cary Memorial Hall Lex at 1605 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA 02420
From top-40 hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can Dream of You” and “Boatman,” the last two recorded by his brother James, Livingston Taylor’s creative output has continued unabated. His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk, pop, gospel, jazz—and from upbeat storytelling and touching ballads to full orchestra performances.
You’re sure to have a night full of music and fun by attending any of these live performances this November.
