Ballou Brothers Band was formed around 1975 by Dave and Matt Ballou with Mark "Bird" Partridge, Shawn Bosquet and Ben Chandler. Adding Deane Ballou around 1979, Gary Young 1982 and Gary Blaisdell 1990, the current line-up was formed. Along with sets of their original music mixed with tight cover songs you will see a skilled and precise performance that can only be built from forty plus years of playing together. We are excited to welcome back this band, here last October as well as "back in the day" on the Big Bear Lodge stage.

Concerts are upstairs at the AIA Welcome Center, formerly known as the Big Bear Lodge. The room is rustic, cozy and acoustically resonant. It features all table-seating with the audience limited to about 100 guests. Beverage service is available with donation requested. State Law does not permit us to allow outside alcoholic beverages into the event. Food is available downstairs at Brookline’s Finest or bring in take-out or snacks from home. An elevator is available from the first floor AIA Gallery. Come early to hike the Sculpture Park, ten miles of trails and over 120 sculptures. The park is open to the public daily for free (donation requested) and events such as the concerts help raise funds for art, nature and mission of the AIA.

There are eight concerts in the Act II Concert Series, July - December. Buy tickets to more than one show to save money and to request reserved seating. Go to this link for a discount to multiple shows.
