Underground Music Venue in Boston, MA called The Loft

Journey to The Loft in Boston, a DIY artist rehearsal and performance space that serves as a sanctuary for experimental sounds. We'll shadow Audrey Ryan, the venue's owner (a talented musician herself), during her preparations and performance for the concert and spend time with a group of Boston bohemians to gain insight into the significance and preciousness of this venue in a city that is grappling with the loss of artist spaces.

I'm Kyle Lamont, founder and host of Concert Cast, a rockumentary podcast network. Our series "in the pocket" explores independently owned venues where music and community come together in surprising ways. We spotlight these unique spaces, often at risk from gentrification, sharing their stories and showcasing their influence on concert culture.
