Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

The Lyres are a cornerstone of Boston's garage-tinged power pop scene, formed in 1979 by guitarist Jeff Connolly (a.k.a. Monoman). Known for their punchy riffs, jangly guitars, and driving rhythms, the band helped shape the sound that blended classic 60s pop with raw, modern energy. Their catalog spans studio albums from 1984 to 1995, including standout records like On Fyre and Lyres Lyres, with later archival releases capturing the band's raw live power. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering them anew, we’ve got you covered for authentic access to their shows and releases.
