A Plymouth-in-Boston weekend coming this march to a Sweetwater near you (feat. The Tranzmission indie music blog launch party)

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Jon Dorn

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!

Sean P. Rogan of Big D hits Sweetwater 3/27!!

Posted on February 13, 2010 by Jon Dorn

Yes you heard it right, the smooth pop-folky acoustic stylings of SEAN P. ROGAN, guitarist of popular punk-ska Bostonians Big D and the Kids Table, will be rocking the house at Sweetwater Cafe Saturday March 27th. We’re going to try and get the word out like yeah (because it’s a party here in the USA) about this show because we want to pack the place.

I came about Mr. Rogan when I went to see Streetlight Manifesto at the Boston House of Blues back in October – he was great. Just him an his acoustic getting the 2,000 people waiting to see a punk-ska band to sing and bob their heads along. It was an awesome surprise act at the show, and I decided to e-mail him a couple days later on the off chance he might want to do a show or two with good ol’ Brewster Productions!

So we’ll be promoting the hell out of this one (and of course the other ones too), so make sure you spread the word to all of your friends who like Big D, or just good music in general. There’s a Big D show at the Paradise on March 19th, so if you’re there, tell everyone to come to Sweetwater on the 27th. Check out a few samples of Sean’s in our featured music player, and check out some of these at his web site: Rocking Chair Song and a whole bunch of other songs. And just for fun, I found this video of Sean playing subsitute guitar for Streetlight during Warped Tour because I guess Tomas broke his arm or something. Details!:

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

Ben Carter performs with Darren Hawe joining him onstage for some vocals and tambourine.

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

Happy Friday everyone,

Tomorrow’s show (2/6/2010) at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston with Ben Carter, Darren Hawe, and Seth McFadyen is going to be a great one. We’ve even heard there might be an acoustic cameo from the Eagle Hill Band.

The folk-poppy stylings of Ben, Darren, and Seth are sure to get cozy downstairs of Sweetwater singing along tomorrow night, and you definitely want to be part of the show. It’s 21+ with a $5 cover, so if you can make it, do what Ernie Boch Jr. says and come on down! (awkward beckoning wave here)

In related news, Ben Carter will be recording and putting out an acoustic EP with a little help from Brewster Productions – we’re really excited about it, and you can bet he’ll be testing out some cool new stuff at the show. Ben and Darren rocked Club Passim in Cambridge the other night, and Ben was caught working on a song (see the photo) – so I’ll say it one more time: Don’t miss the show!

See you in Boston. Keep it real.
