The Elovaters, January 18
It’s a new Boston music tradition, like the Dropkicks on St. Patrick’s Day or the Mighty Mighty Bosstones over the holidays — only here, the rooms keep getting bigger. The Elovaters have announced another January show to heat up the hometown masses with warm vibes in the coldest month, and this year’s celebration goes down January 18 at MGM Music Hall at Fenway. It continues an impressive winter rise for the Boston progressive roots and reggae rock brigade that began in the clubs and elevated from the ‘Dise to House of Blues and now MGM, and this gig welcomes V faves Moon Taxi as direct support. The Elovaters were named Live Artist of the Year and Reggae/Ska Artist of the Year at the 2023 Boston Music Awards, and last year’s global breakout album Endless Summer has plenty of juice left, taking the band across festival appearances at Cali Vibes, California Roots, Levitate Backyard, and Rise and Vibes Music Festival. The Roll Up fall tour of North America kicks off today, coincidentally enough, before taking the dudes to Australia and New Zealand in November. Come January, Lansdowne will be once again transformed with post-holiday cheer no matter what the weather may bring. Get loose with new single “Red Wine” below. Tickets go on sale on Friday (October 4) at 10 a.m. local time.
