Arlo Parks

Arlo Parks has a knack for making intimate feelings sound conversational, and her Desire Tour is a good excuse to hear that songwriting in a room built for close attention. The Boston date pairs Parks with Baird, giving the night a thoughtful two-artist bill rather than padding the evening with a forgettable opener. Parks is touring behind her latest chapter, and this stop comes with a small local bonus: 25 cents from every ticket goes to The Shout Syndicate, which supports youth-led arts programs through Greater Boston nonprofits. At 18+, the show has a little more freedom than an all-ages gig, too. Doors open at 7pm, with music at 8pm, making this an easy Tuesday night plan if you want something more considered than another crowded bar.
