The Scrooges Tickets

The Scrooges bring a distinctive holiday roar to Boston’s music scene. Formed in the late 1990s in Boston, this Santa-clad rock outfit started as a Santa-themed Stooges cover band led by Dave Unger. They deliver pounding Stooges-era rock (1969–1973 catalog) with festive flair, turning December nights into high-energy, toy-drive benefits. Over the years, they’ve become a staple of Boston’s holiday calendar, headlining annual shows at Great Scott and O’Brien’s Pub while supporting local toy drives and community outreach.

Known for their energetic performances and community focus, The Scrooges blend raw rock energy with a seasonal twist. Their popularity has grown through local coverage from outlets like Vanyaland, Studio 52, and Boston Groupie News, which celebrate their longevity and festive attitude. In 2018, they celebrated a 20th anniversary with continued December shows and charity toy drives. Their 2025 lineup continues the tradition with a December 14 show at O’Brien’s Pub in Allston, MA, as part of the annual toy-drive holiday party.

For fans of gritty, classic-rock-infused holiday music, The Scrooges offer a unique live experience.
