Ray LaMontagne, Lucinda Williams To Headline Cabot's 'Big Night'

BEVERLY, MA — Grammy Award-winning artists Ray LaMontagne and Lucinda Williams will headline this year's Cabot Theater "Big Night" annual fundraising event.

The century-old theater welcomes the powerhouse stars on April 28 at 7:30 p.m. for a night of intimate music and storytelling to raise funds to preserve the theater, complete accessibility work, re-imagine the exterior and expand community programming.

"The Cabot's Big Night is a celebration of music, fun and our amazing North Shore community, and we are so thrilled to be able to make it an annual event," said Cabot Executive Director J. Casey Soward. "Without the unbelievable love and support, we receive every year, we wouldn't be able to bring such incredible arts and entertainment to share with you all, and we could not continue to renovate our facility and bring important programs to the community.

"We are truly grateful. We hope everyone will join us in April alongside our fabulous musical guests to celebrate our beloved theater and community."

This is the second year the "Big Night" show will be held in April after the Tedeschi Trucks Band played the 2021 event.

There will be a presale for Cabot Club members beginning on Wednesday with tickets on sale to the general public on Friday here.

LaMontagne has had five records reach the Billboard Top Rock Albums top 10 charts with hit songs "Trouble," "You Are The Best Thing" and "Jolene."

Williams was named Time Magazine's Songwriter of the Year in 2001 amid a music career that has spanned more than 40 years. The blues-inspired singer-songwriter has released 14 albums and won three Grammy Awards.

VIP tickets and sponsorships are available, which will include access to a private party prior to the show and premium seats.
