Sean P. Rogan is joined onstage at Sweetwater Cafe 3/27/10 by Dan Stoppelman of Big D and the Kids Table.

It was a wacky weekend at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston, where everything from a band full of mummies to a pair of musicians from Big D and the Kids Table rocked the house.

Friday night, Electric Mummy unwrapped their punk-metal sound, then on Saturday Sean P. Rogan packed the house and at some points required some bouncer backup from upstairs. At an acoustic show. It got a little rowdy and it was a great time – he was also joined for a few songs on stage by Big D trumpet player Dan Stoppelman who lent his trumpet and melodica talents. Shaun Dever opened up the night with a great crowd pleasing set of his own.

Starting next week we’ll be hosting Singer-Songwriter Night at Sweetwater every thursday night. We’ll have a show announcement for you very soon about APRIL 8th, which will be our first show.

Enjoy the photos!

Shaun Dever is joined on stage by Ben Carter at Sweetwater 3/19/10.

What a show we had last night. Wow. From right before the show when Seth McFadyen and Ben Carter went outside of Sweetwater into the street and played “Semi Charmed Life” and “Island In the Sun”, to Ben unplugging his guitar and singing Jewel on a chair in the middle of the crowd, to Shaun Dever leading a group amorphous jam of “What I Got”, this show was something else.

Hero Ben Carter.

Last night at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston, Shaun Dever, Ben Carter, and Seth McFadyen rocked the crowd for an incredible night of wild acoustic jams and packed-room sing-alongs. At one point, Ben even called a girl from the crowd, sat her in a chair in front of him and played a song for her – she apparently was from Switzerland, which led Ben to thank her by saying, “Welcome to America.” Seth put on a great last-minute opening set, and Shaun rounded off the night with his rad tunes and some more great sing-along jams.

Last night we were giving out little flyers for a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Brewster Sessions, Volume 1 sneak peek album. More on the actual album later. But for now, go download the 6-song album for free here: brewsterproductions.bandcamp.com.

TONIGHT: Jake Hill and Greg Loftus will be playing at Sweetwater for the launch party of TRANZMISSION, the indie music blog of Ryan Wood. If you come tonight, you can get your digital hands on a free download of Greg Loftus’ EP courtesy of Tranzmission.

Now, here are a multitude of photos from last night. Thanks to Shaun Dever for some of them, and for the nice settings he put in the camera for the ones of him. We’ll add some video soon.

See you all tonight!!

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

Howdy,

Everyone had a great time at the show last night at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston. Billy Simons from NYC brought in a ton of people, and Nick “Wondabread” Amendolare and “Saucy” Seth McFadyen closed out the night to a smaller yet fun-loving crowd with a chain of originals and sing-along covers like EHB’s “The River Song”, MxPx’s “Chick Magnet”, and Ben Lee’s “Catch My Disease”. Check out the photos, and see you NEXT WEEK at Sweetwater for a big show with Ben Carter, Darren Hawe, and Seth again if you missed him. Peace!
