Ed Kowalczyk (in the Cambridge Room)

Singer-guitarist Ed Kowalczyk was still in middle school when he formed the spiritually-inspired rock act Live. Though that band imploded in 2009 and Kowalczyk left on such bad terms that his former bandmates filed lawsuits claiming that he had ripped them off, the guy soldiered on and in 2013 released The Flood and the Mercy, a new album that continues to present the kind of spiritual themes that he famously explored with Live. Expect to hear music from it along with tunes from Live. (Niesel)
