THE VAULT: Saucy Seth & the Clams of Death rock the waterfront in ’06

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:

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

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.

Lucas Carpenter performs at the School's Out Summer Concert Series August 7, 2009.

Last summer, Lucas Carpenter conquered the Plymouth Waterfront main stage with his infectious songs and awe-inspiring showmanship. Now, in just a couple weeks the Philly-based Berkelee grad is back in the area for what will surely be an amazing show. Lucas will be playing at ALL ASIA in Cambridge April 12th . Our good friend and local crowd-pleaser Ben Carter will open the show, which starts at 8pm.

Take a listen to Lucas here: myspace.com/lucascarpenter. If his music itself doesn’t convince you to come, then watch a few videos on YouTube.

On the other-Boston-shows front, starting April 8th we will be producing Singer-Songwriter Thursdays at Sweetwater Cafe (3 Boylston Place, by the Common). Also, we’re currently in the process of booking all the School’s Out Summer Concert Series shows, so if you want to play, or know someone who does, give us a shout (booking@brewsterproductions.com)!! Same goes for the Sweetwater shows.

Stay dry.

Brewster LIVES!

Hey everyone,

We’ve been kind of invisible/non-existent in the past couple months. For that we sincerly apologize. Of course, the economic meltdown thing even affected good ol’ Brewster Productions. BUT we’re slowly getting back on our feet, and this summer is going to be a doozy.

 

Before I get into that, I have to mention some good press we got over the winter. Brewster Productions topped the list of “who to watch in 2009″ in Ryan Wood’s column in the OCM. Along with us were a ton of the rad characters we’ve worked with in the past year-and-a-half: Jake Hill (artist of the year), 3rd Left (best live act), Stephen MacDonald (best new act), and our good friends Shaun Dever and Eagle Hill Band (who to watch). 2008 was a great year of local music around Plymouth, and 2009 is shaping up to be even better. Check out the article:

SO, we have some great news:

 

1) The second year of the Acoustic Evenings on the Harbor series is officially ON. And it’s going to be even cooler and longer (we’ll likely be starting Memorial Day weekend). Stay tuned for a schedule (and if you’re a musician who wants to play, e-mail us).

 

2) This summer, the School’s Out Summer Concert Series is an official IRS incorporated non-profit organaization. Awesome (anyone want to sponsor us???).

 

3) The School’s Out Summer Concert Series is now the name of a multi-venue Plymouth free waterfront concert series, that will include the normal main stage and the Hedge House for our acoustic shows. Basically, all the free waterfront shows we’re doing are part of one big series. It should be pretty awesome.

 

4) We have a show! Go see the EAGLE HILL BAND at the Black Spot in Hyannis March 13th!!! They’ll be giving away singles off their upcoming EP (out this summer).

 

That’s all for now. Please support Brewster Productions! You don’t have to give us money, but tell everyone about us and let’s get some publicity for the series. Rock n roll!

 

Keep it real. Go Brewster.
