Peterborough Concert Series will host local group Gumboots to perform the music of Paul Simon, Saturday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m. at the Peterborough Town House.

Gumboots is a 12-piece band made up of New England musicians with a shared affinity for the music of Paul Simon. They formed in the summer of 2018 after performing a night of Simon’s music in celebration of his career at a local Peterborough venue. Their shows include material from all six decades of Simon’s catalog, and the Nov. 27 show will be their first since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group consists of Duncan Pelletier on keyboards/vocals, Erik White on guitars/vocals, Ethan McBrien on bass, Jeremy Valadez on alto/tenor saxophone/flute, Jordan Cusano on drums, Matt Abatelli on tenor saxophone, Matt Rivero on trumpet, Nick Heys on keyboards/accordion, Rachel Allen on vocals, Rory Hurley on lead guitar, Tobey LaRoche on percussion and Yahuba Garcia-Torres on percussion. 

Tickets start at $25 and are available at the Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough or online at peterboroughconcertseries.com.

The Peterborough Concert Series is a recurring concert series bringing the best national and regional bands to Peterborough’s historic Town House.
