Aaron Lewis w/Ben Danaher (all-ages, 8pm), El Alfa (all-ages, 9pm)

Expand

With his throaty voice and impassioned lyrics, Staind’s Aaron Lewis was the beating heart of the turn-of-the-century alternative metal movement, a balladeer whose confessional anthems topped the charts with sweeping singles like “It’s Been a While” without alienating the hard-rock faithful (at least not too much). For his solo career, Lewis has leaned into country, bringing in guests like Vince Gill, Alison Krauss and Willie Nelson on his 2016 album Sinner. Ahead of his latest solo album, The State I’m in, due next month, Lewis is touring solo and acoustic and promising to share stories from his life and career along with some new songs.
