It’s June — my favorite time of year in Western Mass. And there is a palpable, sunny satisfaction in the air: we’ve leveled up, friends. Secret Planet has flourished from an idea to a thrumming little party of a music series thanks to your early support, involvement, and enthusiasm.
Tickets are flying for our special outdoor set with at the end of the month — ✨secret location in Plainfield ✨ +turkish food pop-up 😛 Here’s a clip of him playing “St. Cecilia” from earlier this year … tix here: www.secretplanet.live/brad
Just north of northampton, in a place we like to call ‘greater western mass’ even though they’re in a different state — there’s brattleboro and putney, vt. It’s a quick 45 minute drive up the interstate and our soul brother up there, Keith Marks , has a lovely summer thing going.
As executive director of Next Stage Arts for the past four years, he and his team have built a beautiful outdoor music series which mobilizes a “bandwagon” — a moveable stage — from field to field between May and October. It’s a proper nice picnic hang with the casual-cozy feel of a backyard concert.
We’re all in with the bandwagon this Summer. Members, you can use your member clamshells there. And there’s always plenty of room, so no need to RSVP. You can use your tokens at ANY Bandwagon show this summer, and there’s a link to the full list in our bio — but here are a few upcoming dates we’re particularly psyched about:
✨ 6/15 COMBO DAGUERRE — Original psychedelic chanson from Brooklyn with a mostly Latin crew and a hybrid style informed by boleros, cumbia, 60s rock, French chanson and 1930s surrealism. Featuring members of Chicha Libre and La Banda Chuska. Olivier Conan Chicha Libre
✨ 7/20 PAHUA — Paulina Sotomayor (of the Mexican electronic duo SOTOMAYOR) mixes Caribbean and folkloric beats with electronica and percussion to craft a highly danceable set with themes of femininity, nature, inner strength and self-discovery. Pahua
✨ 8/9 SLAVIC SOUL PARTY — Fiery Balkan brass, throbbing funk grooves, Roma (Gypsy) accordion wizardry, and virtuoso jazz chops make Slavic Soul Party! NYC’s official #1 brass band for BalkanSoul GypsyFunk. SSP! pumps a strong Balkan brass sound through the filter of life in New York’s outer boroughs, making new music out of the unplanned results of immigration, proximity, and globalization. Slavic Soul Party!
Picnic vibes and underground, borderless music. We’ll see ya there. ✨🌹🪐

Armed with a warm, soulful sound, Gaby Moreno creates music that offers an intoxicating invitation into her musical world for English and Spanish speakers alike. Since moving to Los Angeles from her native Guatemala, singer-songwriter-producer Gaby Moreno has been a force briding Latin roots with American folk — and recently came home with her second Latin Grammy ‼️.
Moreno has shared the international stage with pop music luminaries such as Bono, Andrea Boccelli, Tracy Chapman, Ani DiFranco, Punch Brothers, Hugh Laurie, Buena Vista Social Club, Calexico, David Gray, and many more.
