A crazy weekend of Sean P. Rogan, Shaun Dever, and a band of mummies at Sweetwater in Boston

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Jon Dorn

Sean P. Rogan is joined onstage at Sweetwater Cafe 3/27/10 by Dan Stoppelman of Big D and the Kids Table.

It was a wacky weekend at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston, where everything from a band full of mummies to a pair of musicians from Big D and the Kids Table rocked the house.

Friday night, Electric Mummy unwrapped their punk-metal sound, then on Saturday Sean P. Rogan packed the house and at some points required some bouncer backup from upstairs. At an acoustic show. It got a little rowdy and it was a great time – he was also joined for a few songs on stage by Big D trumpet player Dan Stoppelman who lent his trumpet and melodica talents. Shaun Dever opened up the night with a great crowd pleasing set of his own.

Starting next week we’ll be hosting Singer-Songwriter Night at Sweetwater every thursday night. We’ll have a show announcement for you very soon about APRIL 8th, which will be our first show.

Enjoy the photos!

Marching the beat of Brewster: A full month of ‘sweet’ music and a big track meet

Posted on March 1, 2010 by Jon Dorn

Sean P. Rogan, of Big D and the Kids Table, will perform on March 27th. Don't miss that show.

Happy March everyone!

We’re very excited to say that, not only because it means it’s getting closer to spring, and maybe some nice weather, but also because we have a crazily awesome March schedule for everyone to enjoy. To start off the shows this month (all of which are at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston), we’ve got the southern bluesy-folk stylings of Greg Loftus this friday 3/5. Then next week, while we hammer away at the Nike Indoor Nationals track meet at the Reggie Lewis center, we’ve got The Okay Win and Big Big Buildings 3/12 and an open spot 3/13 (let us know if you want to play). March 19-20 we’ve got a Plymouth-in-Boston weekend, featuring our very good friend Shaun Dever on 3/19 – on 3/20, our other very good friend, indie music writer Ryan Wood is hosting the Boston launch party for his awesome blog, Tranzmission, which will feature the incomparable folk stylings of Jake Hill and Greg Loftus. Then, if you thought that was enough, to round off the month, we’ve got Electric Mummy (yes, they are mummies) on 3/26, and here’s the big one: SEAN P. ROGAN of Big D and the Kids Table on 3/27. You can check out all the show details by clicking those links, or going to the SHOWS page.

Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway), it’s going to be a great Brewster month. So please come out to the shows, if you’re 21 that is, and don’t you worry kids under 21, we haven’t forgotten about you. We’ll be having more all ages shows than you can shake a stick at very soon. (and hey, if you’re a band and you’re planning to put on a show at an Elks Club or KoC sorta thing, give us a shout and we’ll do some sound for ya)

See you at the shows!!

PPS – unfortunately, this probably won’t be the last time I use the ‘sweet’ pun in a post.

Sean P. Rogan of Big D hits Sweetwater 3/27!!

Posted on February 13, 2010 by Jon Dorn

Yes you heard it right, the smooth pop-folky acoustic stylings of SEAN P. ROGAN, guitarist of popular punk-ska Bostonians Big D and the Kids Table, will be rocking the house at Sweetwater Cafe Saturday March 27th. We’re going to try and get the word out like yeah (because it’s a party here in the USA) about this show because we want to pack the place.

I came about Mr. Rogan when I went to see Streetlight Manifesto at the Boston House of Blues back in October – he was great. Just him an his acoustic getting the 2,000 people waiting to see a punk-ska band to sing and bob their heads along. It was an awesome surprise act at the show, and I decided to e-mail him a couple days later on the off chance he might want to do a show or two with good ol’ Brewster Productions!

So we’ll be promoting the hell out of this one (and of course the other ones too), so make sure you spread the word to all of your friends who like Big D, or just good music in general. There’s a Big D show at the Paradise on March 19th, so if you’re there, tell everyone to come to Sweetwater on the 27th. Check out a few samples of Sean’s in our featured music player, and check out some of these at his web site: Rocking Chair Song and a whole bunch of other songs. And just for fun, I found this video of Sean playing subsitute guitar for Streetlight during Warped Tour because I guess Tomas broke his arm or something. Details!:
