11:28

Music residencies - regularly scheduled performances from the same band or artist at a set venue - are a key part of a thriving local music scene. Today on The Common,  WBUR Arts Contributor Noah Schaffer has recommendations for five can't-miss residencies you can check out in Boston, Somerville and Cambridge all year long.

 Noah recommends... 

  • The Fringe - Mondays at The Lilly Pad in Cambridge (featured song: "I Loved You Yesterday")
  • The Conscious Band - Sundays at West End Johnnies in Boston (featured song: "Oh What a Saturday Night" by lead singer, Errol Strength)
  • The Natural Wonders - Sundays at Sally O'Briens in Somerville (featured live recording, September 2021)
  • Bars Over Bars - First Sundays at The Junge in Somerville (featured live recording, March 2024)
  • Yoko Miwa Trio - Fridays at The Mad Monkfish in Cambridge (featured song: "Keep Talkin'")
