New Years Eve Festivities in Harvard Square

December 31st – Our Annual New Year’s Eve Fete at UpStairs on the Square
Our Annual New Year’s Eve Fete
Dressed up & delicious with delirious dancing, it’s a Cambridge tradition to celebrate the ushering in of the New Year at UpStairs on the Square.
We plan to ring in 2010 in style, with early and late seatings on each of our two levels of dining. The fabulous band Catharine and the Greats provide the music from 10 pm on. Every year it’s was dancing in the aisles-and all agreed it was our best New Years Eve ever. We were all as one–old and young–as we sang and danced our collective heart out to the wild strains of rock and roll and blues classics.

C.JPG Club Passim, Ellis Paul
Thursday, December 31, 7PM & 10PM
Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, creating a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990’s.
His charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today’s singer-songwriters – his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks – he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
