Festivals, festivals, festivals!

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.

A huge victory for live music in Plymouth: Brewster signs contract with Chamber to operate stage

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Jon Dorn

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.
