Good times headlining at Lily Ps! Every week on Tuesday night, Lily P’s Fried Chicken & Oysters in Kendall Square in Cambridge serves as home to one of the most successful bluegrass nights in the country. Bluegrass Tuesdays fill both the restaurant and bar with bluegrass music from early in the evening until closing time. The stage features some of the best musicians from the area and beyond. Lots of folks attended to eat, drink, and enjoy the music and the open jam sessions all evening long! Photo: Chris Reckling
