Fri 24 Oct, 8 pm. Northern Lights, the Northeast's superlative veteran string band, doesn't qualify as typical traditionalist. But in three decades the band has created its own tradition - a constant exploration of new musical territory without ever losing its acoustic and vocal bearings. From 1990's "Take You to the Sky," to 2005's "New Moon" (Fifty-Fifty Music), the band has fused an eclectic mix of traditional roots music, rock, country, soul and gospel with the high, lonesome vocal sound and instruments of bluegrass. "An original risk-taking bluegrass/newgrass act, Northern Lights shines." -- Billboard. www. 415 South Street, Waltham, 02454.
