Music that Matters - Art that Inspires
A premier concert venue located in the Battleship Cove area of Fall River, the Narrows features live performances and events, as well as spectacular art from a century-old mill building overlooking Mount Hope Bay. The Narrows, a fully accessible venue, is comprised of two visual art galleries, a performance theater and visual artist studios. The Narrows Center started as a 1,500 s.f. gallery exhibition space located where the North and South Watuppa Ponds come together, near a waterway the locals refer to as the Narrows. Thanks to generous community support and strong stewardship, the Narrows Center grew into a 15,000 s.f. arts venue located on the 3rd floor of a former American Printing Company (APC) mill building on Anawan Street on the historic Fall River MA waterfront. In the early 20th century, APC was one of the largest textile operations in the world. The Narrows’ 3rd floor space, with its elegant architectural design, high ceilings and spectacular views of Mount Hope Bay and Battleship Cove, is the ideal acoustic and visual backdrop for what has come to be known as a regional destination for the visual and performing arts. In 2017, the Narrows purchased our gorgeous mill building and tripled the area in which we present live music, visual art, artists’ studios, classroom instruction and arts-related businesses. The Narrows’ performance space has earned a reputation as one of the finest music venues on the East coast. With a state-of-the-art sound system, up close and comfortable seating and a respectful and knowledgeable audience, the Narrows has become a favorite tour stop for some of the finest musicians in the world. The Narrows is a premier venue for diverse performers of blues, folk, rock, jazz, roots, indie, bluegrass and other genres. Musical luminaries like Los Lobos, Blue Öyster Cult, Susan Tedeschi, Dr. John, Rosanne Cash, Robert Cray, Al Di Meola, Odetta, and Richie Havens have all graced the Narrows’ stage. We have also been at the forefront of developing and supporting newer artists like Carolina Chocolate Drops, Grace Potter, The Avett Brothers and Lake Street Dive. The Narrows has created a unique symbiotic relationship between artist, audience and venue that results in a world-class experience for all. The Narrows Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization continuing to present exciting ways to engage the public, host one-of-a-kind musical guests and showcase unique works of art. Offering educational arts programming, local school tours and free Spindle City Festivals, the Narrows proudly presents an ever-growing access and fellowship in the arts.

A lovely evening spent with Dar Williams. A captivated and enthusiastic audience, thank you to all in attendance.

Tonight(Thursday), the Narrows Center is pleased to present Dar Williams. On her 13th album, Hummingbird Highway, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes. Tickets will be available at the door.
