Ted Leo’s next Boston-area show is October 9, 2026 at Off Cabot Comedy and Events.
Ted Leo is an American singer and guitarist who came up through the Washington DC and New Jersey hardcore scenes before finding his own sound with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. His songs marry Thin Lizzy guitar leads and Jam-style mod urgency to lyrics that are wordy, political and frequently very funny, and Hearts of Oak and Shake the Sheets are still the records people press on friends. He also records with Aimee Mann as The Both, and his solo shows lean on the between-song talk as much as the set list.
