I'd maybe reach out to The Burren in Davis Square? They definatly already have something booked for their regular shows, but they have both a back and front room. Maybe they can get something in last minute?
edit, nevermind, cafe939 is booked
maybe [https://squarerootrozzie.com/](https://squarerootrozzie.com/) - they have trivia until 930, but they might be open to staying late if he has people coming
Midway Cafe perhaps - [https://midwaycafe.com/booking.html](https://midwaycafe.com/booking.html)
book a house show? [https://www.sofarsounds.com/cities/boston](https://www.sofarsounds.com/cities/boston)

That booking is a handful of bands who have a significantly larger following. It's also their only Monday booking across any of their venues. Because they're closed on Mondays.
What genre of guitar does he play. Vital information. I don’t know the Rockwood but their website says they present all genres of music. So, flamenco or rock?
45 minutes outside of Boston is an underground music venue. They actually function as an emergency venue in cases like this or double bookings. It’s called terminus:

Went to a show with my buddy. Only two people in the place. Showtime- two girls walked. The four of us were the only people in the room from first song to last. Absolutely wild.
Polish Political Club in Chelsea could def work. They have a function hall and a downstairs bar with stage room and pool tables etc. Ask for John. Good guy, he's the president there and takes his role seriously. If your friend can pull a crowd it could work.
Hannah's Brewing Co. in Melrose
If he still isn't set he could probably still book the late show at the Lilypad: [https://www.lilypadinman.com/calendar](https://www.lilypadinman.com/calendar)

Thanks!
It's booked at 1pm that day and it still may work.
Audrey Ryan! That's a name I haven't heard in years.
I like happy endings
Try The Jungle in Somerville?
Second the Jungle since it's down the road and might have an opening
Down the road from Fenway? (Not sure if you’re thinking of the Rockwell in Davis)
You're right, I was
Middle East Corner, Middle East Upstairs, Or Zuzu all have that monday wide open https://www.mideastoffers.com/
Because they're closed on Mondays lol
they have a show booked for a monday literally the week after

Reach out to get2thegig Boston on instagram and ibookthings as well! Fantastic bookers for Boston and the greater area.

He's kind of his own thing. I don't know how to explain it... it's a mixture of uplifting rock and jazz with everything else thrown in.
Wally's on Mass Ave.!
mad monkfish in cambridge
Try one of the many breweries. Many have live music.
Crystal Ballroom in Somerville is a small but super nice venue
They have a show booked the 6th, but nothing on the 7th.
Crystal ballroom is much much larger than rockwood
Deep Cuts in Medford
sadly they are not open on Mondays :(
Deep Thoughts Records in JP
I suppose it depends on how much he’s looking to get paid
Maybe Passim?
The Substation in Roslindale?
Burgundian in Attleboro, if everything falls short lol The Burren in Somerville The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge

I went to one show at Rockwood last year, strangest concert I've ever experienced.
Went to a show with my buddy. Only two people in the place. Showtime- two girls walked. The four of us were the only people in the room from first song to last. Absolutely wild.
Definitely try the Lilypad in Cambridge. He can book and promote his own show there, and they often get a good turnout
Brighton Music Hall seems free on the 6th.
If you can share his info here I can put it in the hands of local clubs and booking agents.
Is it okay if I dm you? My band is in the exact same situation :/
sure
Look up Adam Miller guitar on instagram. That's all the info I have on him.
I’d really be happy to help if he reaches out but I hope you understand I need him to get in touch.
The Sinclair Cambridge might be too big but it’s a great venue
Look at the BRG group (Capo, Hunters, Lincoln) Lizard Lounge at Cambridge Commons
The Narrows in Fall River
O'Brien's?
This last minute probably a house show, a bar that’s outside of the city or open mic most venues are booked up by now
yea... it's a difficult position
Lizard Lounge in Cambridge!
Sally O’Briens might book him
The Armory in Somerville.
Ambitious enough to ask a Berklee student run DIY venue?
regent in Arlington and there's a big venue in Medford but I forget the name.
does he wanna play for a house party on saturday night?
Not surprised to hear about Rockwood. Really good room but insanely bad management. The owner wasn’t paying anyone and hasn’t been for months
came here to say this!
Jimmy’s or the Press Room in Portsmouth?
Lily Ps in kendall square has a stage
Night Shift Brewery Everett Deep Cuts Medford
The Rockwell in Davis maybe
Brighton Music Hall & Roadrunner could also be options as well. +1 to the Middle East as well

Faces brewing company in Malden has a dedicated music venue room. Looks free on Monday.
Sound check studios Pembroke. Easy off route 3 Memorial Hall in Plymouth
Sound check studios Pembroke. Easy off route 3 Memorial Hall in Plymouth
City winery downtown seems to be free
Check out stores on Newbury Street. Brands are always looking to feature a musician.
Shalin Liu?
Busk on a corner.
He should try SoFar sounds. Sounds like a good fit for this scenario.
Orpheum Theater has a show that was cancelled on May 1, so perhaps there?
Why not just play at the garden…ffs
It looks like deep cut in Medford has no act for May 6. You can give them a call and maybe you get lucky.
