Sing-alongs, jam fests, and an all-around ‘sweet’ time w/ Ben, Darren, Seth, and the acoustic EHB

Howdy everyone,

We all had an awesome time last night at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston with Ben Carter, Darren Hawe, Seth McFadyen, and a surprise acoustic appearance by The Eagle Hill Band. Everyone was dancing and singing along to some great chunes played by all. I guess I don’t have much else to write about it, except that it was wicked fun. Check out the photos!

Peace,

Jon

The Revolution comes to Boston…..again. Plus some more South Shore shenanigans.

‘Afternoon,

I’m only on my 3rd day of classes up at my new place-of-residence in the fair city of Boston, and we’re already working on a Caesar-esque mobilization to take over the Hub….or at least get our foot in the door. Well, it’s fair to say we’ve got our sneakers wedged right in there, and this October we’re going to see what we can do about kicking it open.

We’ve got 3 shows lined up so far, two of which are in Boston, and our expansion to one of the biggest centers of art, music and culture in the world starts this October. Grandiose statements aside, our first show is at the Sweetwater Cafe, in Boylston Place (an alleyway sort of thing off Boylston St. near the Common), and will feature the Eagle Hill Band and others to be announced. Show # 2 will feature our awesome musical pals, The Release, as well as The Eagle Hill Band, Ben Carter, and Shaun Dever at Copperfield’s Down Under Pub (Brookline Ave, right next to Fenway Park). Both shows are 21+ and have a $5 cover.

Also, we’re returning to Pembroke, the place of many of the first bands we ever worked with, and helping to put on a nice outdoor fall show. It’s at the Pembroke Town Green, featuring Emma Ate The Lion.

Now that you know about our next three shows, you will be even more excited to stay tuned to find out about the awesome things we have in store – all we’ll say now is that our biggest plans will involve charity, and will stick close to our roots by being ALL AGES. Keep a look out, youngins of Plymouth, the rock & roll is on its way.

OK, so I’m off to do schoolwork that I actually find interesting and want to do (who knew that was possible?), so stay tuned and we’ll be back with more updates and great news. Peace!

Brewster LIVES!

Posted on February 2, 2009 by admin

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.
Jon
