<h3>THT, 90.5 WICN Public Radio &amp; the Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District present the 9th Annual Jazz+ Live featuring The Love Dogs</h3>


Join us for a fabulous evening of music on August 21! The 9th Annual Jazz+ Live (formerly Jazz at Sunset) featuring The Love Dogs.
Come and enjoy the cool sounds of live jazz as the area behind the theatre is transformed into an outdoor, picnic-style concert venue to include food trucks and cash bars, you are welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages with you.
About The Love Dogs Get ready for a night of blazing horns, boogie-woogie piano, stinging guitar riffs and nonstop rhythm and blues when The Love Dogs hit the stage at The Hanover Theatre &amp; Conservatory for the Performing Arts.
For more than 20 years, this hard-swinging septet has been thrilling audiences across the U.S., Canada and Europe with a powerhouse sound rooted in jump blues, New Orleans R&amp;B and early rock ’n’ roll. Combining top-tier musicianship with pure fun, The Love Dogs deliver a high-energy live show packed with soulful vocals, killer grooves and infectious humor.
Fronted by the charismatic Eddie Scheer — whose larger-than-life blues vocals and magnetic stage presence fuel every performance — the band creates what they call the “tribal love vibe,” where audience and performers feed off each other’s energy all night long.
Please note that alcohol MAY NOT be brought in and must be purchased at the event. Gates open at 5PM. &nbsp; Tickets are $30 per person (bring your own chair) or $175 for VIP stage-front tables that seat four people. Ticket prices increase to $35 per person on the day of the show.

Playing to packed theaters and performing arts centers across the U.S., The Sixties Show is an award-winning off-Broadway production that’s far more than a nostalgia act. Part live concert and part immersive time-travel experience, the show brings the music, culture, and spirit of the 1960s vividly back to life.
Co-created by music veterans Tom Licameli and Craig O’Keefe, the production blends powerful live performances with archival footage, narration, theatrical lighting, and authentic 1960s instruments and gear—performed completely live with no backing tracks.
The show features a powerhouse cast that includes current and former members connected to legendary acts such as The Who, The Rascals and The Beach Boys, with musicians who have performed at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden. The setlist goes beyond the biggest hits to include deeper cuts that defined the decade’s sound.
Whether you lived through the era or are discovering it for the first time, The Sixties Show offers an electrifying journey into one of the most influential decades in modern music and culture. All-In Pricing: Including all fees, tickets are $50, $60 and $70 depending on seat location. Save on handling fees in person at The Hanover Theatre box office. Contact the box office at&nbsp;<a href="tel:+18775717469">877.571.7469</a>&nbsp;for more information.&nbsp;
