I wasn't there to see Llynks but 100% am a fan now! Liked the music and her voice so much I bought merch after the set was done!

I wish I brought my camera with me to better remember this show. It was fantastic! Nice hidden venue, great set and loved the vibe of the show. Unfortunately I don't see a show in the same area in 2024 but I hope I can make it to one of the closer ones in NY!

Phenomenal, sensational, prodigious, thrilling, impassioned, intelligent, moving, sentimental… I can’t think of enough celebratory words to describe how much I enjoy experiencing live music, stories, and poetry by Dessa and her collaborators. Always worth 10x the price of admission.

About The Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub

There areThe Middle East is an entertainment complex consisting of five adjacent dining and live music venues in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Its three dedicated concert spaces, Upstairs, Downstairs, and Sonia, sit alongside ZuZu and The Corner, two restaurants that also host live music. Having featured a huge variety of musicians since 1987, the establishment was described in 2007 as "the nexus of metro Boston's rock-club scene for local and touring bands" by the Boston Phoenix.
The establishment was founded as a Lebanese restaurant which was purchased by the Sater family in the 1970s. Incentivized by a local music promoter's birthday party, The Middle East began to book more local rock groups starting in 1987. It gradually expanded into a full-fledged entertainment complex as the owners purchased nearby properties and incorporated them into The Middle East brand, most recently turning T.T. the Bear's Place into The Middle East's Sonia in 2017.
There are 5 rooms in this complex:
Corner (61 capacity)
Zuzu (110 capacity)
Upstairs (194 capacity)
Sonia (350 capacity)
Downstairs (575 capacity)
