About The Alliance: Our collective of dedicated musicians is in constant pursuit of capturing the human condition in music form. The brainchild of award-winning composer and trumpeter Jack Benson, this orchestral group draws from the idioms of Jazz, R&amp;B, Classical, and a dash of everything else to create new music that speaks to our place in the world, the emotional truth, and the systemic change we want to see.
Functioning as a 17-piece big band, we explore the endless possibilities of textures and colors to create meaningful art. Catch us in Boston, MA in the summertime and in Los Angeles, CA in the Autumn, Winter, and Spring.
About Noah Allen and the Peace: Noah Allen is a trumpet player, composer, songwriter, and producer from Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Over the past six years, Allen has been an active presence in the Providence and Boston music scenes.&nbsp;
In the Summer of 2023, Allen joined the National Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Sean Jones, touring Europe and performing at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. In 2024, Allen brought his group, Noah Allen &amp; the Peace, to the Newport Jazz Festival. Over the years he has played with musicians such as Jesus Molina, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Myron Walden, Greg Spero, Warren Wolf, Moto Fukushima, Tia Fuller, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Sean Jones, and others.

The Cut - Stage • Studio • Restaurant • Bar

Neighbor is a dynamic quartet that blends ambitious compositions, soulful balladry, and fearless improvisations to create a unique musical experience. Featuring Richard James (vocals, keys) Rob Compa (guitar), Dan Kelly (bass) and Dean Johnston (drums), together they fuel the groove and lay a solid foundation for Neighbor’s "down home" sound.&nbsp;
The band's creative incubation began in early 2019 with a weekly residency that grew in large part by the passion of their fans, the “Neighbors”, who continue to inspire the band as the fan base has expanded across the country. This dedicated community and ongoing connection to fans has become a cornerstone of Neighbor’s success every time they step on stage.
With a diverse catalog of hundreds of songs, the musical juggernaut Neighbor has become one of the most exciting and unpredictable live bands on the music scene today. Not boxed in by a single genre, their songwriting brings elements of Americana, Funk, Rock, Jazz, Soul and more. The band is putting pen to paper once again as they head back into the studio to begin work on their second album.
Come see what's good in the Neighborhood.
