Live Music at Sumiao

Each Wednesday and Thursday, from 6-9pm, we host live music at our restaurant. This year we’re welcoming new talent. Read on to learn more about these new musicians.

Musician Highlight: Alex Rubin

A member of the April Verch Band from 2016-2020, Alex has toured extensively both at home and internationally, including performances in 49 states and a number of countries including Canada, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand. Alex’s musical interests as a youth were, shall we say, eclectic but he ultimately developed a love for acoustic and traditional music while attending Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Graduating with a degree in Neurobiology in 2011, Alex returned to the vibrant Boston music scene, studying privately with Berklee School of Music’s ineffable John McGann. In 2014, Alex met banjoist extraordinaire BB Bowness, with whom he periodically tours as a duo.
