The Boston Imposters Benefit Concert for Cafe Carpe livestream, 7 p.m.
Any other year, Café Carpe would be hosting the Lamplighter Sessions, three or four musicians, all on stage together, one of them usually being Peter Mulvey, rotating songs and stories. In the year that everything changed, The Boston Imposters take up the challenge with a livestream performance that will benefit one the finest listening rooms you will ever hear live music—trust me. Hopefully that day is in the not-too-distant future. The Boston Imposters (Maire Clement and Davey Harrison) are a Midwestern-hearted husband-wife duo, who somehow landed in Boston. Harrison hails from England while Clement grew up in Minnesota—they began their journey together in Appleton.
