Max Creek Plays a New Year's Eve Masquerade Ball at Great Hall at Union Station in Hartford

Spend New Year's Eve at the historic Union Station with legendary New England jam-band Max Creek, who played their first Hartford NYE show back in 1972. Guitarist Scott Murawski, bassist John Rider and keyboardist Mark Mercier have been playing together since, well, a long time. Riding the energy of a relatively new backline — drummer Bill Carbone and percussionist Jamemurrell Stanley — the Creek train sounds better than ever. It's billed as a masquerade ball, so wear a costume for this one.
