Oakes Ames Memorial Hall

THE CRIMSON HOUR
Our autumn sister show to The Velvet Hour, The Crimson Hour is inspired by that mysterious time of year when the veil is said to grow thin.
An Evening with Little Miss and the Boom Some evenings entertain. Some invite you to stay awhile.
The days are getting shorter, the air has turned crisp, and autumn has begun to settle over Easton. Night falls early now, and inside the old-world beauty of Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, candlelight warms the dark wood, deep purple shadows gather in the corners, and the last colors of October linger just outside the doors.
You're invited to join Little Miss and the Boom for The Crimson Hour—an evening of live music, vintage glamour, and the mysterious, moody elegance of an October night.
Set inside the beautifully preserved Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, The Crimson Hour brings you two hours of the music, stories, theatrical moments, and audience interaction that make an evening with Little Miss and the Boom something rather special.
Expect a night that moves from smoky and sultry to swinging and spirited, with our signature vintage sounds filling the hall from the first note to the last. It's an evening made for October—with candlelight, autumn color, cocktails, and just enough shadow around the edges to make things interesting.
And, naturally, dressing the part is encouraged. Vintage glamour, autumn elegance, your favorite little black dress—or perhaps something with a touch of crimson, plum, or old-fashioned Halloween about it. This is October, after all.
THE EVENING Friday, October 23, 2026 Oakes Ames Memorial Hall • Easton, MA VIP Reception: 5:45 PM Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM
