We’ve got a whole bunch of free shows this summer, including the Acoustic Nights Free Concert Series and the inaugural Plymouth Independent Music Festival. They’re all between July 15th and September 1st, featuring artists like Lucas Carpenter, The Release, The Okay Win, Jake Hill, Westerly Whales, Sarah Blacker, Ben Carter, Carly Teft, Emma Ate the Lion, The Brightest Lights, Anika Scribbling, and way more.
Happy mid-January, world!
We do exist! Yes, we’ve disappeared for a bit this winter, but we will indeed be coming back for another go-round on the Plymouth Waterfront. But this time, our 5th year of concerts, we’re doing it a bit differently. Sadly, because of various reasons, we will only be putting on one main stage show at DCR Pilgrim Memorial State Park. But it will be one hell of a show, and we’ll still be rocking the Hedge House lawn with lots of acoustic shows.
You can expect an all-day music festival sometime around the end of July. And before that, starting the first weekend in July, we’ll be giving you 2 solid months of our popular acoustic shows on the lawn of the Hedge House (thanks again to the perennially-wonderful Plymouth Antiquarian Society).
This change was triggered by a wonderful event, the wedding of Brewster owner Scott McEwen and Erin Hollenbeck in the end of June. Don’t forget to congratulate them!
We’ll be seeing you – don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, and EMAIL us if you would like to perform at or sponsor the series. And for a not-so-informative (but Jaws-themed) teaser page, go the the concert series web site (it’ll be back up soon).

Hey everyone, just a quick update. We’ve been a little absent from the website in the past few weeks (to keep up with us all the time, follow us on Twitter), so here’s a quick update.
1) The 2010 free concert series came to an anticlimactic conclusion when we had to cancel the final 2 shows, making the (awesome) show w/ Greg Loftus and Steve MacDonald on 8/20 the last for the year. We’ve got big things in the works for 2011, so keep on the lookout for clues.
2) We did side-stage sound at the Black Mountain Music Festival in Jackson, NH this past weekend (feat. Rustic Overtones, Barefoot Truth, Audio Kickstand, and more), and it went great…..until we tried to drive home. On our way home, we had a big truck problem and we had to get towed back to Plymouth from NH. Fortunately AAA Gold covered the towing distance for free. Unfortunately, those AAA free miles don’t apply to trailers – so we had to pay to get the trailer towed back. It was quite a bit.
3) We’ve got 3 events on the calendar at the moment: A kids concert in Boston, the Canton Fall Classic road race, and the PSHS Talent show. Should be a great fall – keep your eyes peeled for more shows!
Toodles.

Naukabout Music Festival 8/7 @ the Barnstable County Fairgrounds, all day.
Hey there,
Just a quick summer update on the Brewster site. (don’t forget to go check out our School’s Out Summer Concert Series, running until 9/3[w/ LUCAS CARPENTER!] on the Plymouth Waterfront)
We’ve got quite the festival-filled august ahead of us. We’ll actually be doing sound production at 3 music festivals this month. Yikes! First you can find us manning the side stage at the huge Naukabout Music Festival on Cape Cod 8/7 (featuring the likes of Bela Fleck, Ryan Montbleau Band, Barefoot Truth and more); then we’ll be running our very own music festival, the 4th annual Schoolhouse Rock Free Music Festival on the Plymouth Waterfront 8/14; then we’ll be running the Jenney Grist Mill stage at the Plymouth Waterfront Festival 8/28.
It’s gonna be a crazy month, so come check out some of this great music – we’ll be there.
Later!
Jon
Greetings from Brewster Productions land! We’ve been working real hard this summer on our School’s Out Summer Concert Series, as well as expanding the business side of things. To give you a little taste of what we’re up to (and so perhaps you can come say hello and give us a high-five or something), here’s our schedule for the next week-ish:
This afternoon 6/26 we’ll be closing up the Showmobile at the end of the Relay For Life at Plymouth South High School (go panthers!)
Tonight 6/26 – we’ll be providing sound production for the SAIL Plymouth Boat Parade in Plymouth Harbor. It’s a cool event, check it out. 8pm.
Tomorrow 6/27 – we’ll be at T-Bones Roadhouse on Court St., Plymouth, doing sound for the inaugural T-Bones/Plimro Records Chilifest Cook-off from about 4pm to midnight.
Also tomorrow, we’ll opening/closing the Showmobile for the Sceleroderma Foundation Walk on the waterfront.
Wednesday, we’ll be taking care of our Showmobile duties for the 1st Project Arts free concert of the season.
Thursday we’ll be doing the same for the L. Knife & Son free concert series.
THEN we have our very own big weekend: FRIDAY 7/2 we’ll be back in action at the Hedge House with Sean P. Rogan (of Big D and the Kids Table), and SATURDAY 7/3 we’ll be celebrating Plymouth’s 2nd biggest holiday (you know, besides the one with the turkey dinner), the Third of July at the Waterfront Main Stage with popular local acts 3rd Left, Jake Hill, The Eagle Hill Band, and Nate Cristofori.
It’s going to be a busy, fun week. We’ll be around various places, so look for the Brewster “CREW” shirts, and come say hi!
Rock on.

Howdy everyone. Hopefully you’re following along with the School’s Out Summer Concert Series, which is in full swing right now in Plymouth. But in other Brewster news, we’re working on releasing “The Brewster Sessions, Vol. 1″, a collection of Storyteller-type in-studio live recordings we did with Ben Carter, Shaun Dever, Nick Amendolare, and Seth McFadyen. You can check out and download a sneak peek of the album HERE, and listen below to a recording we did with Ben on the day he came in for his Brewster Session. More for fun than anything else (it’s not a live recording like the rest of the Sessions), it’s “41″ by Dave Matthews, performed by Ben Carter:
Enjoy, and don’t forget to come to the FREE School’s Out Summer Concert Series in Plymouth, MA all summer long!
