Boxed Lunch

Glowing return

Charlottesville’s Boxed Lunch performed its first show as a band at Holly’s Diner in 2019. A few years and an EP later, the group returns to the diner for a late-night set. The band, which includes Justin Storer, Joel Streeter, Emily Gardiner, and Zack Beamer, combines melodic songwriting, killer harmonies, and skilled musical chops for high-energy performances. In Neon Light, its four-song EP released last year, features hits including the bouncy “Song for Adam” and “Antidote,” a quirky, offbeat hint of things to come.

Saturday 3/25. Free, 9:30pm. Holly’s Diner, 1221 E. Market St. 234-4436
