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).

There are only a few days til opening night of the School’s Out Summer Concert Series 2010, and obviously we’re quite excited. I’m going to keep this one short. First, the the show is Friday May 28 at 6pm, featuring The Eagle Hill Band, Doug Logan, and (just added today) our great friend Ben Carter. Check out the rest of the shows and get your lawn chairs and blankets ready!

FOR RAIN AND CANCELLATION UPDATES, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER! That is in all caps because it’s very important. The only way you’ll know the show is cancelled the second we decide is to follow us on Twitter – as soon as we call a show because of rain (hopefully this won’t happen at all!), we use our cell phones to update Twitter. Otherwise, you’ll just get there are see no concert. Who wants that? I certainly wouldn’t.

Also, please pledge some money to help support the concert series! Click here to find out what cool things we’re giving away for donations, like CDs, backstage tours, and autographed posters.

See you at the show! Rock & roll!

Full of surprises: Hitch and EHB are joined by Jake Hill and sax extraordanaire James Calandrella

(R to L) Jake Hill, Jim Calandrella, and Brian Hitchings rocked Sweetwater Cafe in Boston Thursday, April 29.

The other night was our last show at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston for a little while, but it was something else. Originally, Hitch from 3rd Left was scheduled to play, with support from the Eagle Hill Band acoustic. Then, Jake Hill showed up. And then James Calandrella, “the best sax player in Boston”, according to Hitch (he’s not kidding), showed up and played. It was an incredible show. Here are the photos.

Our next show as of right now is just 24 days away, and happens to be the huge OPENING NIGHT of the 2010 School’s Out Summer Concert Series. Needless to say, we’re very excited for our favorite part of the year. We’ll have some more details about it, but from here on out, come back here for news on Brewster shows in general, but go to the CONCERT SERIES web site for updates on that front.

Check out the photos below, and stay tuned for concert series news (and go to the web site). We’ll be seeing you all quite soon, outside on a warm night on the glorious Plymouth waterfront. Until then, keep both feet on the wheel.

Happy April everyone,

I hope anyone who visited yesterday enjoyed the show announcement. It’s entirely true – it wasn’t an april fools joke. Did you also know that April 2nd is Opposite Day?

Anyway, we’ve been getting geared up for the School’s Out Summer Concert Series for a little while now, it things are starting to get real exciting. If you haven’t been over to the CONCERT SERIES WEB SITE, please do so, there are many fun things to behold. You’ll notice the SCHEDULE, how to DONATE, and how to GET BOOKED to play. If you’ve always wanted to play on the Plymouth Waterfront, now is your chance. If you check out the schedule, you’ll also notice we’ve got an amazing field of musicians playing: Jeff Conley, Nate Cristofori, Jesse Boncek, Amy Mercier, Boston & Bosco, Barroom Heroes (a middle school punk band), 3rd Left, Jake Hill, EHB, The Release, 14th Union, Bones & A Curtis Rhythm, and a Warped Tour send-off show for The Empire State. We’ve also got a few incredible dudes who’ll be playing but we haven’t solidified their dates yet: Greg Loftus, Jake Hill, and Sean P. Rogan of Big D and the Kids Table. And we’ll be adding a ton more as we get closer.

Needless to say, it’s going to be an incredible summer of music. But wait, there’s more! Starting April 8th, we’ll be up in Boston every Thursday night presenting SINGER-SONGWRITER THURSDAYS at Sweetwater Cafe. They’re going to be awesome shows, and if you’d like to play get in touch!

I’m gonna go eat a Fluffernutter.
