Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets at District Music Hall

Friday, August 1 at 8:00 p.m.

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Pretenders, The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, a short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current “second act” as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. Tickets at https://bit.ly/4cjVia4.
