    almost monday // THANK GOD IT'S ALMOST MONDAY // AMHERST, MA

    TheDrake, 44 N. Pleasant St, Amherst · verified Sep 27
    See details

    Presented by DSP Shows, almost monday brings its California-tinged alt-pop to The Drake in Amherst. Born from a San Diego surf shop, the trio of Dawson Daugherty on vocals, Cole Clisby on guitar, and Luke Fabry on bass crafts bright, coastal melodies with indie rock drive. Early momentum came with “broken people,” which drew a Sofi Tukker remix, followed by “sun keeps on shining” and a Billboard Alternative Airplay No. 1 with “can’t slow down.” Their songs have become a staple across sports and lifestyle programming, with more than 50 placements that include ESPN, MLB broadcasts, March Madness, and the Vans US Open. Recent releases span the reflective “leaving is easy,” the communal pulse of “no more regrets,” and “skinny dip,” which captures fleeting youthful connection. Recognition includes a 2026 iHeart Music Awards nomination for Best New Alternative Artist. Known onstage for high energy and a sunlit, kinetic feel, the band has appeared at Lollapalooza, BottleRock, Life Is Beautiful, and iHeartRadio’s 98.7 ALTer EGO, opened arenas for AJR, toured worldwide with The Driver Era and The Band CAMINO, and sold out headline shows across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. Their debut album DIVE arrived in 2024 as a vivid coming-of-age collection, brought to life visually with artist Dave Bowers. With over 1.5 billion streams, a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a collaboration with Jordana on “jupiter,” and work alongside producers associated with OneRepublic and The Killers, almost monday blends catchy immediacy with indie grit. Expect a sunlit sound and plenty of motion when they take the stage at The Drake in Amherst.

    Rescheduled due to a forecasted nor’easter, this outdoor celebration of art, literature, live music, shopping, and dining fills the heart of downtown Westfield with creativity. Set within the Downtown Westfield Cultural District, the festival brings together local and regional fine artists, artisans, authors, musicians, street performers, food trucks, and neighborhood businesses for a welcoming autumn showcase. Visitors can explore Elm Street Plaza, the Church Street Pedestrian Walkway, the Westfield Athenaeum Esplanade, and several blocks of historic downtown, discovering original artwork, meeting creators, browsing books, enjoying live performances, visiting pop-up galleries, shopping boutiques, and relaxing at restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, and pubs. Admission is free, and downtown parking is plentiful. What began in 2017 as a small pop-up art and literature event inside Old Town Hall during Westfield PumpkinFest has grown into a wide-reaching outdoor festival that welcomes artists, authors, and guests from across western Massachusetts and throughout New England. Juried artists and artisans transform the streets into an open-air gallery featuring painting, drawing, mixed media, collage, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and finely crafted glass, wood, clay, and metalwork, with many pieces available for purchase directly from the makers. Readers can meet authors, poets, writers, and publishers representing a broad range of genres, from local history and children’s books to mysteries, memoirs, fantasy, horror, poetry, and self-improvement, with opportunities for conversations and book signings. Live music animates the Elm Street Plaza and the Westfield Athenaeum Esplanade with performances by Luanne DeJordy, Barbara Nutbrown, Dawn Lepere, Matty Bussell, Kyle Love, Jacob Kordas, Andy Gould, and Chip Arnold. Additional highlights include street performers and buskers, gallery presentations, interactive experiences with the Westfield Athenaeum, community collaborations, food trucks, and surprises throughout the day.

    Katie Pruitt

    The Iron Horse, 18 Center St, Northampton · verified Sep 27
    See details

    Katie Pruitt brings the Fools for the Fleeting Tour to The Iron Horse with Next of Kin on the bill. Pruitt’s latest album examines change and impermanence with intimate storytelling and vivid, nature-rooted imagery, carried by her warm voice and a sound that draws from Americana and indie rock. The recording leans into acoustic textures and the live-in-the-room feel created with musicians including guitarist Juan Solorzano and drummer Aksel Coe. Her breakout debut Expectations earned a nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year from the Americana Music Association, and her songs continue to explore identity, self-acceptance, environmental concerns, the fragility of love, and the isolation that can come with a digital world. Next of Kin is an alt country trio known for rich three part harmonies, country tinged arrangements, and plainspoken narratives. What began as a one off collaboration between three solo artists grew into a full fledged band, leading to the five song Homemaker EP and enthusiastic nods from outlets like KUTX and The Current that liken their spark to celebrated collaborations such as the Highwomen and the classic partnership of Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris. A pre show bar and event queue will be available before doors and the performance. Tickets start at $30 with all fees included, and prices increase on the day of the show.
