‘We’re finally talking about this’: MFA’s Kinfolk Courtyard reclaims Black folk music traditions

Black folk musicians gathered Sept. 12 for “Kinfolk Courtyard: A Celebration of Black Folk,” but what took place on stage was far more than a celebratory night of music. All at once, it was a reclamation of traditions, a rejuvenating call to action and a cry of disruptive remembrance.
Hosted in the Norma Jean Calderwood Courtyard at the Museum of Fine Arts, or MFA, attendees reflected on the history of Black folk music while honoring the origins of art that has long been co-opted by white artist...

Which Boston neighborhood has the most unshoveled sidewalks?

With another frigid Boston winter bringing blankets of snow and leaving sheets of ice behind, no one can blame you if your patience has frozen over.

Review: Dropkick Murphys ship up to Boston and remind the city how to party

Imagine the chaos of a rowdy frat party, only more Irish. Crowd members and half-empty drinks alike are sailing across a sea of paddy caps. Every time the band gets louder, so does the crowd, each trying to match the other’s energy.
It’s a quintessential St. Patrick’s Day party, and the city of Boston is invited.
Dropkick Murphys (and maybe a drink or two) was just what Boston needed March 14 to get riled up for a weekend of St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

“Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight” subverts expectations at every turn. The play doesn’t rely on conventions; it rejects them. It’s as tragic as it is comedic, and it’s this level of nuance that makes this performance both impossible to categorize and a deeply impactful experience.

“Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight,” or “Stand Up,” began its run at The Huntington Theatre Jan. 20 after premiering at the Circle X Theatre in Los Angeles and the Harbor Stage Company in Wellfleet, Massachusetts three
