About the 2nd SHIFT:
Begun in the Spring of 2016 as a showcase for diverse musical talent curated by roots musician and Waltham resident Michael Tarbox, the 2nd SHIFT Music Series has helped make the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation Waltham's signature music venue. After an incredible four-season run overseeing the selection of the top-notch artists who have graced the stage here, Michael stepped aside at the end of the Fall '17 Season to allow a new curator to bring their perspective to the 2nd SHIFT, Mark Erelli.
Meet our 2nd SHIFT Curator:
