Hot Stove Cool Music Tickets

Hot Stove Cool Music (HSCM) is more than a concert series—it's a charity-driven music movement. Founded in 2000 by Hall of Fame baseball journalist Peter Gammons and sportswriter Jeff Horrigan, HSCM raises funds for FTBNL (Foundation to be Named Later) and the Peter Gammons College Scholarship, supporting youth programs in Boston and Chicago. Since its inception, HSCM has raised tens of millions for youth initiatives, pairing top-tier performances with a mission you can feel good about backing.

Each year, HSCM brings together an eclectic mix of rock, indie, blues, and pop acts for a high-energy experience. Boston hosts a signature annual show at the Paradise Rock Club, while Chicago followed with exclusive performances at the Metro since 2012. In 2025, Boston celebrated its 25th anniversary with Cheap Trick headlining and All-Star sets, underscoring HSCM’s enduring appeal and charitable purpose. We’ve got you covered with trustworthy, no-pressure ticket options to secure your seats and support a great cause.
