As one of the leading coffeehouses in the metro Boston area, the Uncommon has been the host for hundreds of top folk, Tracy Grammerbig band, and world acts since its beginnings in the mid-80s. We have welcomed such greats as Tom Rush, Cheryl Wheeler, Tom Paxton, Garnet Rogers, Ellis Paul, and John Gorka to our stage. At the same time, the Uncommon recognizes its responsibility to nurture up and coming artists, and has actively pursued engaging exciting opening acts, such as Tracy O’Connell, Adam Ezra, and Liz Moore.
