Bedford’s New Song Music Series presents Boston-based Grain Thief on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
The five-piece string band has released critically acclaimed albums and built a national following through its live performances, bringing a distinctive sound to acoustic roots music.
Their latest album, House of the Dog, celebrates perseverance, friendship, and the simple power of acoustic instruments gathered around a microphone. Its original tunes feel warmly familiar—as comfortable as a favorite pair of jeans. In its album review, Bluegrass Today praised Grain Thief’s “sheer joy and absolute enthusiasm,” highlighting the band’s collaborative spirit and the seamless interplay of its instruments.
Watch Grain Thief perform “54 Miles to Empty”, a track from the album.
Because of planned construction in Bedford Town Hall’s Reed Room, the concert will be held at John Glenn Middle School, where the auditorium offers comfortable, theater-style seating.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 during the week of the concert; ticketing fees may apply. Tickets and additional information are available at newsongbedford.org.
