Carlyn Hutchins May 2007 Newsletter

I want to send a big shout out to my new friends and fans in Shelburne Falls, MA and Albany, NY! I took a little road trip out there and had a great time, so thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and signed up on the mailing list, I really appreciate it.

So far, it's been a busy spring. I started hosting an open mike at Emack and Bolio's in Roslindale, MA and have been booking musicians with wreckless abandon! JP Unplugged has been keeping me busy as well, you can read more about it below. I've been writing new songs, some of which are available as free downloads from the media player at the bottom of my website, so check them out.

I am honored to be Indiegrrl's featured artist for May - read the interview! On a side note, the Indiegrrl organization is looking for sponsors for their series of shows in Provincetown during Women's Week. If you are interested or know a business that would be, please email Vicki Blankenship for more details.

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:

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!

Loring-Greenough House
12 South Street
