# Event Details

- **Event Name**: SHK Music Presents: The Dogmatics and The Carnivals at Boston Harbor Distillery
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 08 Nov, 2025 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, November 8, the Boston Harbor Distillery welcomes one of the city’s most legendary rock ’n’ roll bands—The Dogmatics. Formed in 1981, The Dogmatics burst onto the Boston scene with their raw, high-energy mix of garage rock, punk, and rockabilly, releasing two acclaimed albums on Homestead Records and sharing stages with The Replacements, The Bangles, and the Fleshtones. Though tragedy struck in 1986 with the loss of bassist Paul O’Halloran, the band’s music has endured, inspiring generations of Boston rock fans. Reuniting in recent years, they’ve released new music through Rum Bar Records, including their 2025 full-length Nowheresville—their first in nearly 40 years—and remain one of Boston’s most vital and beloved acts.

Sharing the night are The Carnivals, the latest creation from Boston rockabilly mainstay Kevin Patey, best known for his long-running project Jittery Jack. With The Carnivals, Patey draws on the greasy rhythms of 1950s New Orleans R&B, delivering a spirited, witty, and irresistibly danceable sound. Their new album, Fiesta Time, brims with party anthems, including a rollicking tribute to the “Greasy Pole” contest at Gloucester’s St. Peter’s Fiesta. Expect a night of sweat-soaked rock ’n’ roll that moves from New Orleans shuffle to Boston garage grit—two great bands, one unforgettable show.
