Jake Hill performs at Sweetwater Cafe 3/20/10.

We helped writer Ryan Wood put on the Boston launch party for his blog, Tranzmission, at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston this past Saturday, with the help of Jake Hill and Greg Loftus. It was a great, bluesy, folky show, and Jake Hill rocked the place with a 3-piece acoustic band. You can expect to see both of these amazing guys this summer at the concert series. Check out the photos below!

Next weekend: Electric Mummy on Friday, then SEAN P. ROGAN (of Big D and the Kids Table ) on Saturday. Check SHOWS for all the info.

Shaun Dever at the School's Out Summer Concert Series, June 5, 2009.

We’ve got 2 amazing shows this weekend: On Friday, Shaun Dever will rocking the stage, freshly back from a surfing excursion to Costa Rica. He’ll be joined by our good friends Ben Carter and Nick Amendolare. Then on Saturday, we’ve got the big Boston launch party for TRANZMISSION, a great indie music blog by our friend Ryan Wood – that show will feature JAKE HILL and GREG LOFTUS. This is all going down at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston: 10pm, 21+, $5 cover. See our SHOWS page for more info and other shows!

FREE STUFF?? Yes, that’s right. Just last week, Ben Carter joined us in the studio for The Brewster Sessions, and tomorrow Shaun will be doing the same. We’ve also got a few Brewster Session tracks from Nick A that we recorded during the summer. SO, if you come to the show on Friday, you’ll get a free mini-album sample download of The Brewster Sessions, Volume 1 (which we’re working on for release this summer….stay tuned). If you come to the show, we’ll give you a little piece of paper with a code on it and you can download it from our forthcoming online music store.

Don’t miss these shows (and your free music!!!). You’ll also want to head on over to the School’s Out Summer Concert Series site for pretty much constant updates to the schedule. We’ve already got a bunch of artists booked. Take a look!

See you at the shows!

Greg Loftus at Sweetwater Cafe March 5, 2010. Presented by Brewster Productions.

The rad tunes were pouring out of a little room downstairs in an alleyway club tonight in Boston. Greg Loftus and Nate Cristofori, two of south-of-Boston’s finest, tuned up Sweetwater Cafe’s downstairs stage tonight. Nate started off the show with some great sing-alongs with his contagious piano-ing, and Greg closed out the evening with some incredible bluesy guitar and singing work. Check out the photos. Good night, and see you next week.

Here’s what’s going on next weekend: The two big shows are THE OKAY WIN 3/12 and 3rd LEFT 3/13, both at Sweetwater Cafe. Also next weekend, Team Brewster will be tackling the Nike Indoor Nationals track meet as the official sound team. We’re going to tweet about the wacky time we’re having the whole time with fun photos, so stay tuned to that if you feel like reliving your former athletic days through a sound production company. Which reminds me: Follow us on Twitter! Who knows, maybe we’ll end up like that girl @lovelybutton if Conan discovers us.

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!!

PS – shamless self promotion: check out my weekly cartoons in the Old Colony Memorial as a part of ‘Jam Session’ on Saturdays!
PPS – unfortunately, this probably won’t be the last time I use the ‘sweet’ pun in a post.

Shaun Dever, performing 3/19 at Sweetwater Cafe, is also our main graphics and poster guy here at Brewster. So, without his computer while surfing the days away in Costa Rica, this is the poster he came up with.

This will be a great weekend. On March 19, Shaun Dever will rock the Sweetwater Cafe in his ‘back in the USA’ debut show after surfing his way through Costa Rica for some time (see the photo). Then the very next day, March 20, our good friend and international indie music writer Ryan Wood will be hosting the official Boston launch party of his new music blog, The Tranzmission, which will feature the incomparable JAKE HILL w/ another incredible mainstay of ours, Greg Loftus – it’s sure to be a bluesy, folksy night.

So you’re probably beginning to see that March at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston, presented by Brewster Productions, is going to be a pretty rad time. Make sure you check out the show schedule because we’ve got 7 SHOWS coming up featuring the likes of Sean P. Rogan (of Big D and the Kids Table), The Okay Win, Big Big Buildings, Nate Cristofori, Electric Mummy and more. It’s gonna be a great month as we get geared up for the big 3rd season of the School’s Out Summer Concert Series. (and yes, we know all these shows at sweetwater are unfortunately 21+, but you just wait a tiny bit longer and we’ll make it up to you and then some)

Later!
