John Lebanon
The Lily Pad, 1353 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA
Admission: $15
$15 at the door / $12 advance / 3:30 doors / 4pm show / seated & standing John Lebanon plays an original, improvisational set blending the melodic warmth of the Levant with the grit of Northeast alternative rock. Drawing from a decade of movement from Beirut to Boston, the music explores navigating two cultures and the search for a sense of place. The set features songs from Kite Without a String, released in June 2026, alongside other original material. John Lebanon is a Boston-based indie-folk project blending intimate songwriting with elements of folk, alternative, and indie rock. The music explores memory, identity, relationships, displacement, and the strange beauty of everyday life. Kite Without a String, released in June 2026, is the project's newest album. For this Lilypad performance, John Lebanon will perform as a five-piece band featuring Roy, Marc, Karl, Matt, and Stefanos.
