September will still be hot with a host of awesome outdoor shows…

With the upcoming Labor Day holiday, our summer psyche is quickly fading and the reality of falling leaves and cooler temperatures are on the way.  With the flip of another calendar page from August to September this week, my personal favorite month to get outside and take in live music without unbearably high temperatures and threatening thunderstorms.

There are plenty of great shows within driving distance of the Berkshires this September.  Deadheads can suck on some gummies and get lost in the musical journey of Dead & Company at the Xfinity Theater this coming Sunday, September 5^th.  Also, 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 17^th and 18^th.  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 14^th.  The Big E turns the power to their stage back on with shows including Machine Gun Kelly on the 17^th…Billy Idol on the 18^th…and Pat Benatar on the 26^th.

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

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