Music scene · Lynn

Lynn is a historic industrial city north of Boston with a legacy tied to its grand 1940s auditorium. The city once hosted legendary performers on the New England circuit, and today maintains a modest scene of local rock, acoustic, and Latin acts at neighborhood bars and the downtown auditorium.

Lynn Memorial Auditorium, a 2,000-plus seat Art Deco venue in City Hall, books concerts and community events. Downtown bars and restaurants host local rock and acoustic performers. For club shows and indie acts, residents typically travel to Boston or Somerville.

The Lynn Memorial Auditorium hosted historic performances by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Johnny Cash. Today, local and regional rock and Latin acts populate the bar and auditorium circuit.
