In Allston, MA there is only one venue where many different types of bands have played and have had some big names play there. Harper’s Ferry is settled right on Brighten Ave and it seems to bring all kids from all areas surrounding  Allston to their shows. Harper’s Ferry also puts on an event called Paper, which is 18+ and local bands or bands in general play. Then afterwards it becomes a club scene where deejays  play and you can dance the night away!

Harper’s Ferry is generally easy to find if you know the area! When I first went to go look for it, I walked right by it, it’s  easy to miss so  make sure you keep an eye out! When walking into the venue there is a sitting area on the left and on the same side there’s a bar. If you’re under 21 then you can get water but that’s about it. The stage is straight ahead and there’s plenty of room to stand. Then there is another bar in the back of the venue with pool tables with the bathrooms  also in the back. The best thing about the venue is how the stage is set up. It’s easy to see the band from wherever you are inside plus  the sound in Harper’s is also really great too. It’s always good to hear the vocals over the instruments!

Shows at Harper’s Ferry are generally awesome! They’ve had some pretty sick shows over the past couple years including  Fall Out Boy, This Providence, 3OH!3,  30 Seconds To Mars, Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship and many more. Harper’s Ferry also has a ton of local shows which, I suggest that if you live in the area to attend at least one local show here. It’s a great place to showcase local talent.

If you ever want to go to a show here, then I definitely suggest that you do go. You’ll be pleasantly surprised and it might just become one of your favorite venues. I know that I  enjoy it because it’s pretty close to where I live and whenever I have free time I head to Harper’s to go to Paper (since I’m over 18). If they’ve had some sick shows in the past then they’ll have some even better shows in the future, so you should definitely go!
