After holding down Monday nights at Lee’s Liquor Lounge since 2002 (minus when they temporarily moved to the Eagles Club in 2006), trad-country stalwarts Becky Thompson & Old School will play their last weekly gig there tonight (8:30 p.m., free).

“It feels like we’ve played the place out,” bassist James Dungan-Seaver explained. By no means is this the end of the band, which has been around for 30-plus years. It’s also not the end of the Monday night country dance shows at Lee’s. But it is the end of a tradition. Â
