Peter Mulvey’s Lamplighter Sessions Take Over Club Passim for Halloween Week
Six shows from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, including a Christmas-themed Halloween and a full Tom Waits Rain Dogs.
Milwaukee songwriter Peter Mulvey, who once busked in Boston’s subways, is back at Club Passim in Harvard Square for the Lamplighter Sessions: six shows over five days that Passim calls “a multi-night, one room festival of improvisational art” and that always include Halloween. Mulvey started the series; Barry Rothman now co-leads it.
