Sound On is a WBUR CitySpace concert series highlighting rising local musicians. Artists run the gamut from fresh faces new on the scene and experiencing a meteoric rise, to tried-and-true musicians who’ve been around for decades and are creating their most resonant work to date. Most importantly, the musicians featured in the series are producing excellent, original and compelling work — right in Boston’s own backyard.
For the past decade, the Boston Calling Music Festival has put a national spotlight on the city, gathering thousands of concert-goers every Memorial Day weekend. While the Festival has moved from its origins at City Hall Plaza to a massive footprint at Harvard’s Athletics Complex, one thing has remained a constant: a spotlight for local musicians on the big stage. For the first time ever, CitySpace is joining forces with Boston Calling to bring you a special evening of local music ahead of this year’s Festival on May 24-26.
Headlining the show is Ward Hayden & The Outliers, Scituate natives who have toured across the U.S. and Europe and just released their ninth LP, “South Shore.” A seven-time Boston Music Awards winner, they double-down on their namesake as a proud country band from a city famous for rock and hip-hop. “We are true outliers,” Hayden said. “We are from Scituate and play country music. But I grew up in a country household — it was my mother’s music.” Come and see how their northern roots resonate with the soul of country.
