Atwood’s Tavern celebrates its 10th anniversary with a weeklong series of concerts beginning Monday. Since opening, the cozy East Cambridge venue has been a home for some of the best local bands and artists, with top-notch talent performing nightly.

Peter Wolf’s new album, “A Cure For Loneliness,” begins with a few lonely piano chords – ironic accompaniment for an accomplished album that starts with the sentiment, “I don’t intend to fade away / Or let the world run over me.”
