Boston music legend Rick Berlin brings the Nickel & Dime Band back to the Gulu-Gulu stage for a big, night of rock & roll. A fixture of the Boston scene since the ’70s, Berlin first made his mark fronting Orchestra Luna and later Berlin Airlift, building a decades-long reputation for theatrical performances, sharp storytelling, and songs that refuse to stay in one genre.

His Nickel & Dime Band carries that history forward with a mix of rock, punk, funk, Americana, and plenty of unexpected turns. Along the way they’ve shared stages with Dr. Dog and the Violent Femmes, while Berlin’s career has crossed paths with everyone from Roxy Music and the J. Geils Band to the early Boston punk scene.
