Come join us every Tuesday this Summer during July & August for our weekly BBQ & Blues Jam hosted by Sly Fox and George Boone. We will also be grilling some food on the patio (available for purchase). Want to join the jam? Email gary@putnamplace.com for more info.

From his suit and shiny black shoes to his powerful vocals filled with raw emotion, this veteran musician George Boone will immerse you in a deep river of the blues. He has won the respect and accolades of the great players in the blues scene and has shared the stage with legendary blues greats such as Albert King, Screaming Jay Hawkins and Johnny Copeland, to name a few.

As Matt Smith wrote in Metroland magazine “I think George Boone is one of the most amazing guys I’ve seen. He’s the real thing…” A night with George Boone is an experience. Rocking out, dancing, crying the blues, George Boone is a lesson in what the blues are all about. George Boone lives the blues. George Boone is the blues.

Open mic night every Wednesday night starting at 7 PM. Sign-up start at 6:30. Come all musicians, singers, poets, authors, etc. We would love to have you. Please patronize the restaurant by buying food and drinks. If you have a musical instrument, please bring it. We do probed sound!

Little Lies is a Boston-based, seven-piece ensemble dedicated to celebrating the music and legacy of Fleetwood Mac. Their performances capture the band’s distinctive sound and enduring appeal through authentic arrangements, expressive vocals, and a deep appreciation for the music.

A heartfelt tribute to one of rock’s most influential bands, Little Lies has consistently sold out theaters across New England and the Tri-State region over the past two years.

Their performances trace Fleetwood Mac’s remarkable musical evolution, from the band’s early foundations with selections from Then Play On and Mystery to Me, through the landmark albums Fleetwood Mac and Rumours, and into the celebrated later recordings of Tango in the Night and The Dance.

Whether you are a lifelong fan or discovering the music for the first time, Little Lies invites audiences to sing along, dance, and experience the remarkable depth and evolution of one of rock’s most enduring songbooks.

Hailing from Corinth, Mississippi, Saving Abel is a Southern rock powerhouse best known for their explosive live shows and hard-hitting anthems that blend post-grunge grit with radio-ready hooks. Formed in 2004 by guitarist Jason Null and vocalist Jared Weeks, the band quickly found their signature sound-a mix of raw emotion, driving guitar riffs, and Southern swagger.

Saving Abel exploded onto the national scene with their 2008 self-titled debut album, driven by the breakout single “Addicted,” which reached #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning multi-platinum status. The album also delivered other charting rock staples like “18 Days” (#10 Mainstream Rock) and “Drowning (Face Down)” (#24 Mainstream Rock), cementing their reputation as a hit-making rock band.

Their 2010 follow-up album Miss America featured the powerful single “Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood),” which climbed to #7 on the Mainstream Rock chart, while the title track “Miss America” and “The Sex Is Good” continued to build on their radio success, the latter peaking at #1 on the Active Rock chart.

Over the years, Saving Abel has toured relentlessly, sharing stages with rock heavyweights such as Nickelback, Papa Roach, Hinder, and Buckcherry. Their third studio album Bringing Down the Giant (2012) further showcased the band’s dynamic range and commitment to raw, emotionally-charged rock.

Now reunited with core members and reclaiming the grit and soul that made them fan favorites, Saving Abel is back with new energy, a renewed sense of purpose, and music that stays true to their Southern rock roots. With over a decade of success, multiple charting singles, and a die-hard fan base, Saving Abel remains a defining force in modern rock.
