I can make this relate to New England right?!

Just the fact that he's from Rhode Island makes this a shoo-in, I'd say.

Herbie Hancock – Secrets
- Herbie certainly seems to have been around forever - he just played here a week and a half ago, in fact
- Based on the title, I would posit that the entire album is full of secrets

Day 27 - LOCKE & KEY (Joe Hill, 2008)
Limited comic series later turned into a Netflix show and oozes with Lovecraftian influence. The original comic names the fictional New England town where the story takes place as “Lovecraft”. After becoming more familiar with the controversial nature of Lovecraft’s personal legacy, Joe Hill switched the name of the town to “Matheson” for the TV show (to honor a different dark fantasy author). The story centers around a mansion with hidden keys (and their corresponding locks) that each possess different powers when opened. And a banished demon that wants to trick his way back into the real world.

Day 26 - THE SECRET OF THE TOMB (Robert Bloch, 1935)
Written by a Lovecraft protégé, this story is about a man who tries to unlock the secrets to eternal life that is supposed to be hidden in his family’s tomb, by digging through books from Lovecraftian lore like the Necronomicon.
Play something from an artist that seems to have been around forever and/or that features a secret and/or a code and/or a message in the run-out groove.
The New Pornographers - Challengers
The black lines that run all the way across the bottom and behind the album titles are actually the barcode from the back extending all the way around the cover and hiding in plain sight (and it's scannable all the way around, too).

Play something that includes a recurring character, theme and/or motif and/or a recurring song and/or mentions a city you particularly appreciate returning to.
The ever-recurring Eddie - a character, a theme, a motif and tied directly to the city of Hades. I've never been and reckon if I visited and ever got out, I wouldn't seek passage back...

Black Panther: The Album (Music From and Inspired By)
There’s a recurring talking drum riff played on the album to connect it with the score & setting of the film. …admittedly, it’s not as recurrent as I remember it being (it appears at the end of only 3 songs) but it’s there.

Day 28 - THE DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH (Lovecraft, 1927)
Robert Randolph embarks on a dream-quest to find a majestic city that appears in his dreams. Randolph Carter is a recurring character appearing in 7 stories.

Morphine "Like Swimming" (1996 Rykodisc; 2023 Modern Classics Recordings reissue)
There is a recurring song in "I Know You (Pt. III)", which is a call-back from their first album "Good", which includes "I Know You (Pt. I)" and "I Know You (Pt. II)". I also learned from the liner notes that the album itself is part of an overall motif, completing a set of four albums that loosely center around the four elements. This one is Water. Based on the cover art, you can see that "Good" is Earth, "Cure For Pain" is Wind and "Yes" is Fire (Earth Wind & Fire, in the correct order, lol).

There are a few recurring characters in The Hold Steady's first few albums: Hallelujah (known as Holly), Gideon, and Charlemagne.

To echo @Yer Ol' Uncle D 's sentiments from his post; the fact that these guys can still put out a song that gets my attention is amazing honestly.
