A fixture of Boston music since 2000, Powhida is the erstwhile frontman for the beloved Rudds and the one-time pilot of the John Powhida Airport International. The Albany native has garnered several Boston Music Awards, won the WBCN Rock ‘n Roll Rumble in 2011, and has performed with Graham Parker, Peter Wolf, Todd Rundgren, and the Nazz. The Infirmary is working on their forthcoming debut—due in the summer of 2026, it’s a bit of an art-rock fever dream, a little injection of disco-pop, and anything but prescriptive. Whatever ails you, the Infirmary will cure.Powhida InfirmaryThe music of Sidewalk Driver is high energy, highly infectious, hook-driven Rock with a capital ‘R.’ The sound is modern, but the heart of the band seems to be more in line with 1970s rock culture… the Bowies and the Belushis of the world. Lead singer Tad McKitterick’s voice has power and clarity, is expressive without falling off the pitch and is forceful without losing subtle moments. Guitarists Kate Murdoch and Jared Egan seamlessly weave crunchy rhythms with soaring solos, while bassist Jonn Smith and drummer A.J. Locke hold down the bottom end. The songs always come with some odd bent but not one that repels; rather, they welcome you to join in the celebration like a carnival barker hyping a freak show.Sidewalk Driver has opened for an eclectic blend of national acts—including Bon Jovi, The B-52s, Spacehog, Twenty One Pilots, Andrew W.K., and Electric Six—winning over a wide variety of audiences with each performance by injecting humor and fun into their high-octane rock show.Sidewalk Driver - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/the-powhida-infirmary-sidewalk-driver/100001985745023821 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, Art, Parties - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 17.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Lizard Lounge - **lat**: 42.38211839999999 - **long**: -71.1193369 - **full address**: Lizard Lounge, 1667 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Powhida Infirmary/Sidewalk Driver - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/9d66322d7149cc2cba3d3d72f475fbdcd5cc1bfa743c98c5821f701e00b4bf78-rimg-w1200-h695-dcfb5180-gmir.jpg?v=1774562824 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Powhida Infirmary/Sidewalk Driver being held? - **A:** The Powhida Infirmary/Sidewalk Driver takes place on Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 11:00 pm at Lizard Lounge, 1667 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Powhida Infirmary/Sidewalk Driver? - **A:** The Powhida Infirmary/Sidewalk Driver is organized by Lizard Lounge. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
