2016 Hot Stove Cool Music lineup unites Red Sox greats and Boston musicians

Peter Gammons, Theo Epstein, Kay Hanley and Paul Epstein pose at last year’s Hot Stove Cool Music show.

Now in its 16th year, Theo Epstein and Peter Gammons’ Hot Stove Cool Music will return to The Paradise on January 9, uniting stars of music and baseball. As with previous years of the festival, this year’s event will raise money for Foundation To Be Named Later, a charity established in 2005 by Theo Epstein’s brother Paul, a Brookline social worker, which helps to serve disadvantaged youth in Boston and Chicago.

This year’s lineup includes a mix of former Red Sox players, Yankees players, musicians, and television personalities. Big names include Bronson Arroyo, Kevin Youkilis, and Jake Peavy, all from different Championship-winning Red Sox teams.

Tickets for the event cost $40, and VIP tickets—which include a pre-party with refreshments from Harpoon Beer, LOCO, BOKX 109, CHOPPS, The Fireplace, and Pastoral—cost $150. To purchase tickets, visit the Foundation To Be Named Later site.
