Location: Green Parrot Bar

Three 90-minute sets: 5:30-7:00, 9:00-10:30, and 11:00-12:30 Four-time Grammy Award winning funk master Trae Pierce and his band the T-Stones return to our stage for a funky good weekend. Trae and his band members consider the Parrot stage as merely their launching pad as they swarm into the crowd with their infectious beats and can't-stay-in-your-seat dance-moves. Pierce gets audiences fired up with his funky talk box versions of 2Pac’s “California Love,” Phil Collin’s “In the Air Tonight,” and “24K Magic” by Bruno Mars while The T-Stones’ lead vocalist Pierce’s son, Ray Pierce, adds a hip-hop flavor to the music. Speaking of flavor, fun fact: Ray has his own famous connections having been Flava Flav’s roommate in California for several years...

Good Trees River Band EARLY Soundcheck 5:00-7:00 *Pre Amp Show* — September 30, 2026 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Green Parrot Bar: One set: 5:00-7:00 Good Trees River Band's June 2020 full-length album "Hold on to Your Horses" grabbed the attention of listeners throughout the Northeast and beyond. This release was the result of a hardworking history - spreading their musical magic through grassroots gusto. GTRB's sound has evolved immensely since the bands original formation. Initially drawing inspiration from Jam music and traditional Americana, the sound established in the early years was loose, but fun, maybe even slightly subdued. As the band developed further, so did their sound, reflecting a heavier and more psychedelic influence in their music. The band now is firing on all cylinders, and their live shows touch on all fronts of this ever-broadening soundscape. Formed in 2015, GTRB started as 3 high school friends in Massachusetts who wanted to take their musical collaborations to the next level. A thriving first year of open mics, bar gigs, and private parties with nobody in the bass seat was motivation to reshape the group and take things more seriously. 2016 saw the addition of Ned Brady on the bass, which sparked a four-track EP and a quick splash into markets beyond Southeast MA. Their first full-length tour in Summer 2019 spanned 20 dates throughout all of New England and into NYC, NJ, and Virginia. The fresh GTRB lineup is now five members strong & regularly performing and touring throughout the Eastern USA with shows from Maine to Macon to Key West. They stand out on festival lineups in their own right, while feeling fortunate to have shared bills with artists such as Ripe, Kung Fu, Eggy, and West End Blend, as well as Larry Keel, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Adam Ezra Group, Strange Machines, and more. Keep your eyes and ears out for many musical moments and appearances to come! (Browse group: Festivals)
