Much more than a signature, John Hancock is an often forgotten but indispensable force in the story of the American Revolution. A man of immense privilege, he nevertheless found connections across all levels of society and political affiliations. Working behind the scenes, he bridged divides as a moderate force in a tumultuous revolution in which many Americans felt left behind by more radical politicians. Join us to discuss Brooke Barbier’s new biography of Lexington’s most beloved Patriot and his political prowess, featuring an author Q&A followed by a group discussion!

Golden Gloves - Top-Central New England Preliminaries
2025-01-09 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-01-16 19:30 - 22:00 | Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
Lowell Sun Charities is proud to present the 78th Annual Golden Gloves at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Thursdays from January 9 – March 6. Don’t miss a moment of one of the longest-standing New England sports traditions, as the best amateur boxers from the area battle it out across the weeks to see who will be crowned champion. Thursday Night is Fight Night at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium!
Every year in the Golden Gloves they’re a new flock of boxers trying to work their way up from the bottom in hopes of advancing their way to top of the competition. The Gloves has been a tradition in New England since 1947 and sells out the Lowell Memorial Auditorium every year. “It’s only there to give kids a way out of a lifestyle and to promote the sport of boxing along with good health, good training, exercise and confidence.”
When you win the Golden Gloves, you don’t get paid, you get the respect of your community; that’s very important to a young kid, as it gives them confidence to build their life upon.
Lowell, Massachusetts has a great tradition of boxing dating back 74 years ago. When you go to a Golden Gloves show in Lowell, you know that it is unlike other boxing shows or any other sporting event in general. There is electricity in the air, fans get a certain charge when they watch these fighters give every ounce of themselves for something that can’t be seen or touched.
This yearly event to the combatants is that, it’s not about prizes; it’s about pride. Many of the fighters who range in age from 18-40, are not even on a path to the pros or even the Olympics — they are simply there to say they fought in the Golden Gloves.

Back 2 Mac - Fleetwood Mac Tribute
2025-01-09 20:00 - 22:30 | Taffeta Music Hall, Taffeta Music Hall, 110 Western Ave, Lowell, MA, 01851, United States
Back 2 Mac has been performing a fantastic Fleetwood Mac tribute show since 2010. Back 2 Mac’s 40+ song list spans all the hits of the chart-topping Buckingham / Nicks / McVie era, solo hits and early classics by Peter Green and Bob Welsh. Lush vocal harmonies and an easy-going playfulness with the audience distinguishes Back 2 Mac performances from those of other tributes, a result of the combined years of music-making among the band members who have played and recorded with Leon Russell, Bob Weir, The Impressions, Days Of The New, Josh Ritter, Anais Mitchell, and Kevin Morby. Pooling their experiences into electrifying performances of Fleetwood Mac music, Back 2 Mac play small theaters, city-sponsored events, and great rock and roll venues including City Winery (Nashville, Philly, Chicago, and Boston), Brooklyn Bowl (Brooklyn); Headliners Music Hall (Louisville); The Bluebird (Bloomington IN), and Stephen Foster Amphitheater (Bardstown KY). In 2023 the band expanded their reach of the eastern United States to 12 major cities and 20 secondary markets. Ages: 18+

Mark Erelli in concert
2025-01-18 20:00 - 22:30 | Crossroads Music Series, Crossroads Music Series, 190 Academy Rd, North Andover, MA, 01845, United States
Mark Erelli turns adversity into finely embroidered rock songs that burn with urgency on his 2023 album Lay Your Darkness Down. Following full-bodied rock forebears Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison, Erelli’s songwriting explores the unknown glories of this planet and love’s transformational power.
Over his two-decade long career, the singer-songwriter-sideman-producer-writer has proven himself equally at home in a multitude of roles: producing albums for artists like Grammy winner, Lori McKenna; serving as a sideman guitarist for artists like Paula Cole, Marc Cohn, and John Ritter; writing and producing his own material (his “By Degrees was nominated for Song of the Year at the Americana Honors and Award); and most recently becoming an advocate for low-vision artists and working with venues to make their spaces more accessible.
“Erelli’s’s delicious catharsis leaves us all with a catchy chorus that will be much easier to call to mind when we need it most. That is the beauty of songwriting done well.”
