Peter Mulvey & Ruth Theodore with Andrew Sue Wing opening, at Harmony on the Green in Lexington [03/01/25]

Peter Mulvey comes to the Harmony stage on March 1, 2025, along with Ruth Theodore . Andrew Sue Wing will be opening the show.

Over the past 20 years, Peter Mulvey has pursued a restless, eclectic path as a writer and musician – immersing himself in Tin Pan Alley jazz, modern acoustic, poetry, narrative, and Americana stylings. He has shared the stage with luminaries such as Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Ani DiFranco, Indigo Girls, and Greg Brown.

Mulvey began as a self-described “city kid” from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He traveled to Dublin, Ireland, in 1989, where he learned the trade of the street singer. Returning to the States, he relocated to Boston and began making a living as a subway and street busker, before taking to the road full time. Mulvey has a rare ability to hold an audience’s attention and transport them, using wit, humor, and a subtle but sophisticated melodic and harmonic sensibility to gracefully introduce complex and provocative concepts and characters.

Highlights of his recordings include 1995's "Rapture", "The Trouble With Poets" (produced by David Goodrich in 2000), 2004's "Kitchen Radio", the fan favorite "Notes from Elsewhere" (entirely solo versions of his songs), two albums with Sista Strings (2020's live recording "Live at the Cafe Carpe" and 2022's studio album, "Love is the Only Thing") and most recently "More Notes From Elsewhere" in 2024.

Joining Peter will be Ruth Theodore, Peter's labelmate on Righteous Babe Records. Ruth is a seasoned British songwriter and producer whose work fascinates audiences with its gripping honesty and distinctive lyricism. A cancer diagnosis and treatment throughout a global pandemic would have floored most human beings but even writing from the chemo chair, Ruth kept on creating and emerged with over two albums worth of new material! Performing over an array of unconventional guitar tunings, and obscure yet cunningly catchy piano, Ruth’s songs of life, death, love, and the human condition are that of a skilled contemporary songwriter. Delivered with effortless unapologetic passion, Theodore’s live performances will take you places, make you laugh and cry and often both at once.

Ruth has produced three critically acclaimed records, and following her most recent collaboration with award winning US producer and bassist Todd Sickafoose (Anais Mitchell/Ani Difranco), Ruth is back collaborating as co-producer with Todd on her 2024 release "I am I am".

Andrew Sue Wing is a Boston based singer/songwriter and guitarist specializing in funk-rock. Equipped with a strong baritone voice and a unique style of rhythm and lead guitar, he’s able to belt out strong choruses and deliver soulful ballads. His repertoire includes both originals and covers of classics. With influences such as Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, John Scofield, and John Mayer, his originals combine blues, rock, funk, and soul.

Our building is accessible with an elevator to Clark Hall from the front entrance, and a lift up to the hall from the back parking lot. We have ample free parking, accessible parking spots and accessible single- user bathrooms.

Tickets will be available at the door, but advance purchase is strongly recommended. Tickets are $25 or pay what you can available at https://hancockchurch.breezechms.com/form/coffeehousemarch125
