Carlyn Hutchins Newsletter - April 2007

Spring is finally here and I'm looking forward to playing some gigs after a couple of months off. My first night as host of the Emack and Bolio's Open Mic is on Wednesday April 18, so come on out and show your support - and if you play, bring your guitar! One more thing... I did an interview with Robert Urban at Gay Guitarists Worldwide and was their featured artist in March. Read the interview!

JP Unplugged Acoustic Music Series

JP Unplugged Acoustic Music Series is a new music event that launched in February 2007. A group of Boston based singer/songwriters and supporters of the local music scene have banded together to create this parlor series in the historic Loring-Greenough House in Jamaica Plain. It is the hope of the founding members that the success of this series will encourage broader support of independent acoustic music in the community.

The Loring-Greenough House has opened its doors to us to host these concerts in one of their beautiful parlor rooms on the first floor of the house. The shows will be an intimate coffeehouse-meets-house-concert setting, with seating for 40 to 50 people.

Our aim is to reach out to Jamaica Plain and neighboring communities to garner support for holding events like these and bring new friends to the community. We will be working with local coffeeshops and bakeries to serve coffee and goodies for each of the shows.

Remaining Series Schedule:

Friday April 27th - 8 pm with Jennifer Kimball (Jess Yoakum and Carlyn Hutchins open). $10, advance reservations suggested.

Saturday May 19th - 8 pm with Kevin So (Mike Delaney opens). $10, advance reservations suggested.

Sunday June 24th - 1 pm: An afternoon lawn concert performed by the JPU founders: Jess Yoakum, Patti DeRosa, Mike Delaney, Laura Bullock, Terry Kitchen, Denise Barbarita, and yours truly! Free admission, as a thank you to the community for their gracious support of our series!
