You might know them from their hit song “Mr. Cadillac”, .saturn and is hitting the Cantab next Wednesday (7/22) along with their opener Alder Maze!

Known as “The pride of Detroit”, Mac Saturn stands as a testament to resilience and the unbreakable bonds of musical brotherhood. Emerging from adversity stronger than ever, the five-piece rock band blends soulful swagger, Motown-infused grooves, and kinetic live energy that turns every show into a dance floor. If they’re not your favorite rock band already, they will be now!

Buy your tickets now using the link in our bio or on Tunehatch. Limited tickets available.

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.
