Shoes

Shoes has no upcoming Boston-area shows listed. They last played May 29, 2026 at O'Brien's Pub.

Power pop legends from Zion, Illinois who helped define the genre in the late 1970s and 80s. Their DIY approach and perfectly crafted guitar-pop songs — recorded in their home studio "Short Order Recorder" — influenced generations of indie and power pop bands. A rare chance to see living power pop history.
