We are so excited to announce @monroviaboy will be playing at the Cantab on May 13!!  Born in Mon Rovia, Liberia (inspiring his name), Mon Rovîa has been an upcoming and transcending music artist through his exploration of Afro-Appalachian folk, heavily influenced by his upbringing as a trans-racial adoptee and civil war refugee. Growing up in places such as Montana, Alabama, Florida, etc., he was exposed to folk music, which led him to center his music around his own experiences within that genre. According to an interview with Atwood Magazine, “He writes songs of healing and human connection, singing from the heart with his soul on his sleeve.” This rising star has performed his own songs that have brought people together, opening up hard conversations about the politics of today’s world. “I’m Mon, born in Mon Rovia, Liberia. My life can be summed up by being born into a civil war, escaping the life of a child soldier, rescued by the hands of missionaries. Spent a lot of my developmental years living in a variety of places with a number of life experiences. And then layered on top of all of this is the assimilation I felt being a transracially adopted refugee. My music in a nutshell is a culmination of these experiences blended with the empathy I feel for the experiences with others. The mission of my music is to heal with others - with every nation and tongue, in due time.” Now’s your chance to see him before he opens Noah Kahan’s tour in Europe!

Coming all the way from Chicago, @hotlikemars stole the show a couple weeks ago with their Boston/Cambridge debut! Opened by @sonsoflevin , this show started with an intimate energy that kept the night buzzing with happiness and joy. You could feel it in the air. What a great night! 🎥: @meijunmedia #hotlikemars #sonsoflevin #livemusic #cantablounge #cambridge

Our full interview with @therevivalists from our last pop-up show! From splitting the G to advice directed toward upcoming artists, we had a great conversation with lead singer, David and guitarist, Zack! Be on the lookout for future pop-up shows… #interview #therevivalists #cantab #livemusic

So Friday night… we had @therevivalists play in our small little venue! It is always such a treat when bigger artists come and support local venues, and it was the perfect rainy night for a concert by this one-and-only band! Thank you to The Revivalists and their crew for putting on such a spectacular show, as well as our fantastic audience for moving and grooving along! Truly an unforgettable night for everyone there. 🙌 🎥: @meijunmedia #therevivalists #cambridge #thecantablounge #livemusic #concert

Did you guess The Revivalists would be our next pop-up artist? Renowned for their live prowess, soulful alt-rock anthems, distinct mix of many of the classic styles of American music, and outward generosity through their philanthropic Rev Causes initiative, The Revivalists broke through with 2015’s Men Amongst Mountains, which featured the double-platinum smash single and Billboard Hot 100 hit “Wish I Knew You.” The band continues to evolve sonically as their journey continues to see them summit charts and headline world renowned venues the world over. And guess what? You can see them at the Cantab in two days! Get your tickets now! Limited tickets available. #cantab #therevivalists #livemusic #cambridge
