The Cantab Lounge

Do you have any plans on Saturday Night? If not come join us for Phaedra Butler!

When you think of classic Boston, R&B pop-soul music, you might think of Donna Summer, New Kids on the Block, or even New Edition...

The other name you should get to know is
PHAEDRA.

Filling a glaring gap in the current industry marketplace, PHAEDRA represents the culture of women — inclusive of all of the sensitivities, insecurities, struggles, and triumphs that the everyday woman endures throughout her life, in a raw yet stunning manner.

We are excited to announce that Sly & The Family Stone is making their way to the Cantab on May 1!

The Family Stone is the only band officially authorized by the legendary Sly Stone to carry on the legacy of his iconic music. Led by Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee and founding member Jerry Martini, The Family Stone keeps the music of Sly and the Family Stone alive on stages around the world.

Fronted by the visionary Sly Stone, the band’s original lineup included his brother Freddie Stone (guitar), sister Rose Stone (keyboards), Jerry Martini (saxophone), Larry Graham (bass), Greg Errico (drums), and the late, great Cynthia Robinson (trumpet).

Today, The Family Stone remains true to its original mission: to uplift and unite. Still multi-racial and multi-gender, the band continues to inspire audiences of all ages to STAND for peace, equality, and everyday people.
