At the club level Tremont Music Hall announced that the fabulous Lee Fields & the Expressions would return the to Southend venue April 12. If you missed the veteran soul singer (who is on a long and winding comeback trail) in December, then go, go, go.

Just around the corner, the Chop Shop is starting to see the results its association with former Neighborhood Theatre runner Zach McNabb's Zali Presents.
