Holiday Dance Party with The Mugfords

on Saturday night

For the first time at the Me&Thee, we’re bringing local retro band The Mugfords to our stage for a Saturday Holiday Concert & Dance Party. The Mugfords will present a night of pop and rock holiday hits and standards of the ’60s, ’70s and beyond — plus we’ll keep Stetson Hall clear for our dance floor. The band has a drum kit full of holiday favorites and some surprises.  •  Note: This is a Saturday concert. As a gift from the Me&Thee and in the spirit of the season, we’re offering TWO-FER TICKETS: Buy one, and bring a friend for free with no additional ticket needed! Surprise a friend with a great night out or bring your family to enjoy this festive night.

Concert starts at 8:00 pm

The Mugfords

The Mugfords launched three decades ago on Mugford Street and they’ve performed throughout New England, including performances on HGTV and at The Hard Rock Cafe in Boston. They’re known for their vocal harmonies and faithful replication of the music of The Beatles, Kinks, Byrds, Rolling Stones, The Who, Talking Heads, Cars and many others. Members include Paul Todisco, Chad Rosen, Debra Basile, and Steve Pierce.

Chad Rosen was the former member and manager of the Boston-New York based swing band “Tappin’ at the Met” who performed all over the East including The Paradise, Jack’s, Ryle’s, Jonathan Swifts and the Westside Theater in NYC. He’s opened shows for Tom Paxton, David Bromberg, The Persuasions, Lenny Clark and Jay Leno.

Debra Basile is a conservatory trained, multi-instrumentalist, teacher, singer and choral conductor. She performed with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood. She currently sings with the Cantemus Chamber Chorus, teaches music privately and directs a choir in Lexington.

Paul Todisco has been dubbed “the human jukebox” with his vast knowledge of rock music. He played lead guitar for the “Ace of Clubs,” as well as a country rock band, “The Boosey Hawkes” and an original rock band “The Poor Boys,” which morphed into “Safety in Numbers” and won a band contest on the former WCOZ-FM. He’s played at the legendary Rathskeller in Kenmore Square, Jack’s in Cambridge, the Inn Square Men’s Bar and The Channel in South Boston as well at The Paradise.

Steve Pierce is a percussionist/multi-instrumentalist whose nickname is “Tubs” due to his innate ability to make a Home Depot bucket sound like a full drum set. Steve is widely known and admired for his 30 year career as an art teacher at Marblehead Middle School. His crowning art creation is the 30 foot bronze sculpture The Discovery of Purpose, which is permanently displayed outside Marblehead High School. He’s a classically trained trombonist who began playing drums in his early teens but also plays guitar, bass, hammered dulcimer and keyboards.
