Miya Folick featuring Barrie March 1, 2019 at Great Scott Despite the small stage and minimal set up, Folick showcased a riveting roller coaster of emotion, and the crowd responded accordingly.

Avril Lavigne Head Above Water Avril Lavigne / BMG · February 15, 2019 When Avril Lavigne stepped onto the music scene in 2002 with her debut single, “Complicated,” she established herself as a brash, loudmouthed, rebel pop-punk superstar.
