The Herter Park Amphitheater (with 350 seats and 200 lawn seats), located on the south bank of the Charles River in Allston, hosts weekly concerts each Thursday from June through mid-October, featuring some of Boston’s best local artists. Tonight, Herter Park’s resident band, Sons of Levin, will be joined by local musician Alli Haber.
Sons of Levin, a band formed by brothers Dylan and Connor Levinson, released its first EP in 2019. Inspired by Phish, Grateful Dead, and other classic rock mainstays, Sons of Levin describes its sound as “an homage to previous great acts while delivering their own take on the modern jam/rock scene.”
Listen to their tunes and watch live performances here. Check them out of Spotify here.
Alli Haber is a Boston-based singer-songwriter who released her first single in 2018. Her latest, “Youth on Fire,” was just released. Check out her music here.
Herter Park is maintained by the Friends of Herter Park, a grassroots volunteer effort dedicated to the public spaces of Herter Park, including the amphitheater. Reserve your ticket here.
