The summer of 2006 was when we first conceived of Brewster Productions. Right across the street from where this concert was happening, in the not-so-coincidentally-named Brewster Gardens, we were playing a game of “Midnight Wiffleball” when the idea of putting on a big summer concert ourselves popped into our collective heads. So here are the earliest seeds of Brewster Productions, the big August 11, 2006 Saucy Seth & the Clams of Death waterfront show:
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 variousreasons, 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).
All shows at the Showmobile stage have been saved! The Chamber of Commerce now owns the stage and has contracted us to operate it.
Hey everyone. We have great news that just broke today in the Old Colony Memorial. We’ve been contracted by the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce (new owners of the Showmobile mobile stage) to open and close it for all events this summer. What does this mean? It means that us and every other event planner (like Project Arts and Lenny Vaz) no longer needs to worry about covering the cost of opening the stage – and not because someone has come to the rescue with the money, but because a real solution was found, and no one will have to worry about the DPW fees in the future.
Here’s the OCM article from today:
PLYMOUTH — It looked like this would be the summer the music died, at least on the Plymouth waterfront.
But the town has given its portable stage, known as the Showmobile to The Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce, which is working with a private organization that will open and close the stage for a nominal fee that will not be passed on to event organizers.
Jon Dorn of Brewster Productions said his company is poised to sign a contract with the Chamber. Brewster Productions was founded by a group of Plymouth South High grads and is locally known for the School’s Out Summer Concert Series, which offers some shows on the Hedge House lawn and others performed from the Showmobile in Pilgrim Memorial State Park.
