With kids back to school, cooler temps on the way, Labor Day in the rearview mirror, and our summer psyche quickly fading doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun and pack away your concert t-shirt collection for the winter.  There are still plenty of great outdoor concerts before the snowfalls.  In fact, I find this time of year even more enjoyable to take in outdoor shows without sweating you’re a** off.

There are plenty of great shows within driving distance of the Berkshires this September.  The barefooted Dave Matthews and his band will be camped out for two days in upstate New York performing two gigs at SPAC on Friday and Saturday, September 17th and 18th.  Rockers have plenty of choices with the Black Crowes performing together again and landing their Shake Your Money Maker tour at SPAC on Tuesday the 14th.  The Big E turns the power to their stage back on with shows including Machine Gun Kelly on the 17th…Billy Idol on the 18th…and Pat Benatar on the 26th.

A couple of major festival events take place in September as well.  Farm Aid returns to the Xfinity Center in Hartford on Saturday the 25th with the original organizers of this family farmers fundraiser…Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp.  Right here in the Berkshires at MASS MoCA the Fresh Grass Festival fills the air with music over three days on Friday the 24th, Saturday the 25th, and Sunday the 26th.

Pop fans there are live shows for you as well with Maroon 5 at SPAC next Monday the 13th, and the Jonas Brothers at SPAC on the 28th, and in Hartford at the Xfinity Theater on the 29th.  Below is the complete list of upcoming shows through the rest of the year and into 2022.
